The Polk County Veterans Council will host the annual Veterans Day Parade through Lakeland. Come line the streets and show your support for our veterans at the Lakeland Veterans Day Parade.
On Saturday, November 11, 2023, at 10 a.m. there will be a ceremony celebrating all veterans with a special focus on the 70th Anniversary of the Korean Armistice Agreement. The event will take place at Veteran’s Park located at 701 West Lime Street. Veterans Day is observed annually on November 11th, the anniversary of the end of WWI. On this day we honor the men and women who have served in the U.S. armed forces. The Veterans Day Parade will step off immediately following the ceremony.
The Polk County Veterans Council is hosting the Lakeland Veterans Day Parade that takes place immediately following the ceremony in Veterans Park. The parade honors all veterans. The Veteran’s Day Parade will step off from the RP Funding Center right at 11 a.m. and travel east along Lemon Street into downtown Lakeland. The parade will then turn north on Kentucky Avenue and end in the Munn Park parking lot.
