2025 Veterans Day Parade

The 26th annual City of Orlando Veterans Day Parade is moving to Lake Nona! Join Mayor Buddy Dyer and the Veterans Advisory Council as we honor those who have served our nation.

As one of Mayor Dyer’s Signature Events, the Veterans Day Parade has been a longstanding tradition in downtown Orlando. This year, we’re proud to bring the celebration to the the Lake Nona community. In partnership with Tavistock and the Lake Nona VA Medical Center, we look forward to honoring our veterans with a fresh perspective and a new setting.

The 2025 parade theme is “Service to our Nation”, recognizing the dedication and sacrifice of our military service members past and present.
