Miami Beach Veterans Day Parade and Parachute Demonstration: During World War II, the beaches and hotels in the City of Miami Beach served as a home base for military troops.

Parade participation includes students, organizations, businesses, military groups and public officials. The parade kicks off at 17th Street and Washington Avenue to 11th Street, then west on 11th to Meridan Avenue, then north to 14th Place, then onward to Flamingo Park’s baseball stadium, where a wreath-laying ceremony will take place.
