About Delaware Community Veterans Parade
Our Legacy: The Delaware Veterans Parade
For years, the Delaware Community has come together to commemorate the valiant sacrifices of our veterans through the Delaware Veterans Parade. We are the largest Veterans Parade in Central Ohio. This annual event serves as a vivid testament to the unwavering spirit of our community, reminding us all of the brave souls who have selflessly served our country. Each parade carries a theme, a story, and a message – aiming to bridge the gap between generations and educate our younger community members about the significance of our veterans' contributions.
A Tribute with Purpose
As the poignant words from Mayor Carolyn Riggle resonate, “they'll never be forgotten,” we aim to turn that into a lived reality, ensuring that our community remembers every name, every story, and every sacrifice.
Community Involvement
What makes the Delaware Veterans Parade truly stand out is the remarkable involvement of our community. From our spirited marching bands like Delaware Hayes, Buckeye Valley, and Delaware Christian, to the heartfelt participation of families of the fallen, and the presence of esteemed guests like Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, it’s a collective effort. Our parade is a canvas of gratitude, painted with the hopes, memories, and respect of every single participant and spectator. We invite you to join this journey, as we march forward, honoring our heroes and forging bonds that last a lifetime.
