Veterans Day Parade

The Veterans Affiliated Council (VAC) is hosting our Veterans Day Parade in front of the west steps of the Capitol in Sacramento, CA. We organize a parade which progresses through streets surrounding the Capitol building, and host a ceremony which includes a speech given by distinguished guest speakers who represent both highly experienced military veterans and government officials who assist the veteran community in various capacities.

This year's theme is mental health awareness. We invite everyone to join us as we honor the service of veterans and highlight the importance of mental health support within the military community.

The Parade begins at 11 am. The Parade meeting location will be at Crocker Museum on 216 O Street, Sacramento. The parade will travel east on Capitol Mall, south-bound on 9th St., then to the east on N St., then north on 15th St., west on L St., and then south on 10th St.
