Following the ceremony, the American Heroes Parade will begin at 11:30 a.m., starting at Dallas and Bagby streets. The parade route will proceed east on Dallas, north on Louisiana, west on Walker, south on Smith, and then west on Lamar before ending at Lamar and Bagby.

The parade will feature local veteran organizations, ROTC groups, bands, and supporters marching to show their respect and honor for our veterans. The parade is open to the public, and everyone is encouraged to join along the route.

It is worth noting that Texas has the largest veteran population in the nation, with over 250,000 veterans residing in the state. This makes it even more significant for the City of Houston to host such a meaningful event to honor and recognize our veterans.

Mayor Whitmire and the City of Houston are proud to provide this opportunity for the community to come together and show their appreciation for those who have served our country. The Veterans Day Parade and Program is a chance for all of us to express our gratitude and pay tribute to these American heroes.
