Saturday, November 9th, is the Auburn Parade Veterans Day. Auburn has hosted the Veterans Day Parade since 1965. Now in its 48th year, the parade has grown into one of the largest Veteran's Day parades in the United States of America.
Seattle Base USSVI will meet at the staging area near the corner of K Street and Main Street between 10:00 and 10:30 AM. We suggest getting there early since there are over 206 entries involved in the parade and parking might be limited. The parade will start at 11:00.
There are lots of other events going on in and around Auburn, including the Vietnam Traveling Wall (which will be open 24 hours a day). Check the Auburn website for more information about the other events.
