The annual Veterans Day Parade returns to downtown Las Vegas on Wednesday, Nov. 11, honoring all who have served. Organized by the non‑profit Veterans Action Group, the event opens at 9:30 a.m. with the National Anthem, followed by a bike kickoff at 9:50 a.m. and a flyover at 10 a.m. The parade itself proceeds from 10 a.m. to noon.
Spectators can line the route with portable folding chairs. The march starts at the intersection of Fourth Street and Garces Avenue and heads north to Fourth Street and Stewart Avenue. Open bleacher seating is available at Fourth and Clark, while the grandstand bleachers at Ogden are reserved for officials.
Downtown drivers should note that city road closures begin at 5 a.m. and remain in effect until 2 p.m., affecting Fourth Street between Las Vegas Boulevard and Stewart Avenue, Third Street between Charleston Boulevard and Garces Avenue, and adjacent side streets. Metro Transit routes are on detour from 4 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., so check alerts before traveling.
Metered parking spaces and nearby garages are available, but visitors should consult the city’s closure map to confirm which streets remain open for garage access.
