New to the site: the San Diego Veterans Day Parade returns Wednesday, November 11, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. along Harbor Drive in downtown San Diego, in front of the County Administration Building.
Presented by the USS Midway Museum and sponsored by Verizon, the parade is the largest Veterans Day parade on the West Coast, honoring those who have worn the uniform of the nation. This year’s event commemorates the 35th anniversary of Operation Desert Storm, with marching bands, historic military units, vintage vehicles, and patriotic performers processing along San Diego’s waterfront. The parade will also feature a distinguished Grand Marshal.
The parade begins on Harbor Drive near the County Administration Building. Thousands of San Diegans and community leaders typically line the route to pay tribute to the region’s veterans.
