6th Annual Philadelphia Veterans Parade To Go Virtual

PHILADELPHIA—After Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney announced Tuesday the cancellation of all large events through Feb. 28, 2021 due to COVID-19, organizers for the the 6th annual Philadelphia Veterans Parade & Festival said their event will now take place virtually.

The event was initially scheduled to take place in person Sunday, November 8.

While this year's event will look much different than in year's past, organizers said they still look forward to honoring the over 220,000 veterans in the region in five months.

“In battles we adjust, and that is exactly what we are going to do for this year’s parade. Whether we are marching on Market Street or gathering together online, our goal remains the same – to honor and thank our nation’s heroes. We are excited to take on this new challenge," said Anthony Murphy, President of the Philadelphia Veterans Parade.

Organizers said they are currently working out the details of the upcoming parade and welcome any and all suggestions from past sponsors, veterans service organizations, marchers and spectators.
