Get Ready For
This Year's LIVE Parade
Saturday, 4 Nov. 2023
10 a.m at Hilo, HI
Help Us
"Celebrate Service"
in 2023
The Hawai‘i Island Community joins our Military Veterans and all non-profits, businesses, and groups to better our lives by participating Saturday, November 4th, 2023, 10 a.m. at the 15th Annual Hawaii Island LIVE Veterans Day Parade. The parade's theme, "Celebrate Service", focuses on increasing the involvement of veterans and the community to serve those in need.
NOTE - We choose to hold the parade the week of Veterans Day (11 Nov) on a SATURDAY to maximize participation and volunteers. Plus, several long-held island locations host ceremonies that would conflict if we did the parade on the same day.
Held in downtown Hilo, the parade has grown into one of Hawaii's largest Veterans Day parades. This event can only be held with the generous financial and volunteer support of local businesses and individuals. Our committee members are all volunteers who give their time and effort to support and organize the Hawaii Island Veterans Day Parade because of its importance in recognizing our Hawaii Island veterans and their families, and working with the community to help many more. Because of COVID, let's keep finding creative ways to support our Veterans!
Mahalo nui to our many participants, volunteers and generous sponsors who made who continue to make our parade possible.
Check out our Parade Marshals for 2022! Let's spread the benefits to our veterans and community all year!
