The City of Miami Beach hosts its annual Veterans Day Parade on Wednesday, November 11, with the procession stepping off at 11:10 AM along Ocean Drive from 5th to 14th Street in South Beach. The parade features marching bands, military units, color guards, and community organizations honoring veterans from every branch of the Armed Forces — Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard.
Following the parade, a formal wreath-laying ceremony and military flyover take place at Flamingo Park. The event is free and open to the public. Arrive early along Ocean Drive for a good viewing spot — the stretch between 5th and 14th Street fills quickly on the morning of November 11.
The Miami Beach parade is one of the largest Veterans Day observances in South Florida and has been a community tradition for decades. It is a fitting way to spend the morning of November 11 before heading to one of the many free meals and park admissions available across Miami-Dade County throughout the day.
