Murrieta's Veterans Day Parade: What To Know And Where To Go In 2023

MURRIETA, CA — America's fighting men and women will be honored Saturday during the city of Murrieta's 21st annual "Veterans Day Parade," featuring marching bands, representatives from all service branches, public safety personnel and area civic leaders.

The event is slated to get underway at 10 a.m. Saturday near the intersection of Ivy Street and Washington Avenue, rolling through the historic downtown area along Washington to Town Square Park, where the "Field of Honor" will be on display at Adams Avenue and Kalmia Street.

The city's high school marching bands will be participating in the event, along with veterans groups, personnel from the U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine Corps and Navy, law enforcement and firefighters, Mayor Lisa DeForest and others from the city and Riverside County.

Ceremonies will conclude at the Field of Honor, which is sponsored by the Murrieta Rotary Club.

The site is established every November ahead of Veterans Day as a memorial to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the U.S. Armed Services, and a salute to those who have completed their service or remain on active duty.

The tribute is in its 15th year, and hundreds of 3-by-5-foot American flags are will be on display until Sunday, thanks to donations to the Rotary.
