We're preparing for our 27th Annual Veterans Day Celebration on Nov. 11, and we want to honor all Victorville Veterans! Please tell us about a Veteran you know and love so we can honor them during our ceremony.
Veteran Information Forms and Parade Entry Applications are due by Oct. 6. Submit your information and learn more at VictorvilleCA.gov/VeteransDay.
Our celebration will take place in Old Town Victorville and can be viewed from 7th Street and Forrest Avenue. We'll kick start the event with our Freedom Mile Run at 8:45 a.m. This fun run is free, and participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt while supplies last.
The Veterans Day Parade will begin at the corner of 7th Street and Tracy Street at 9 a.m. and proceed to the corner of 7th Street and Forrest Avenue where the ceremony will take place immediately following the conclusion of the parade.
