The nation's largest Veterans Day event, the New York City Veterans Day Parade hosted by the United War Veterans Council, will return on Monday, Nov. 11, 2024, for its 105th year with an estimated 20,000 participants from across the U.S. marching up Fifth Avenue.
The Marine Corps is this year's featured service for the event, which will run from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. between 26th and 48th streets in Manhattan. It will be broadcast live on WABC in New York, as well as live-streamed here on Military.com.
This year’s grand marshal will be retired Marine Sgt. Dakota Meyer, according to WABC-TV, an ABC affiliate in New York which is an official parade partner.
Meyer is the first Marine Corps Medal of Honor recipient for Operation Enduring Freedom. He was honored for his actions during the Battle of Ganjgal in Afghanistan in 2009.
The parade may be viewed live online here on November 11.
In person, spectators can get a view anywhere along Fifth Avenue from the step-off point, 26th Street, to its end on 48th Street.
Every year, New York City's Veterans Day commemoration honors all eras of service and all service branches.
