Saturday, November 7, 2026. Get ready for a red, white, and wow-worthy morning in downtown St. Louis! The St. Louis Regional Veterans Day Parade and Family Festival brings together family fun, patriotic pageantry, and a heartfelt salute to our nation’s veterans—just in time to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. From 9am to 1pm, the area around Soldiers Memorial transforms into a free family celebration filled with hands-on activities, memorable photo ops, and plenty of patriotic flair for kids and grown-ups alike. At 10:30am, the excitement marches right past the festival as the Veterans Day Parade rolls by Soldiers Memorial—so bring your cheers, wave those flags, and claim your spot along the route.
