Veteran’s Day is Tuesday, November 11th, but the city of Denver is hosting many special events this weekend where you can show your support for veterans.
The activities kick off on Saturday, November 8th with a number of fun events for the whole family:
5K & 10K Run
The special events kick off with a 5K and 10K run sponsored by Toyota. At 7am, the 5K and 10K runs begin, starting on the Auraria Campus and ending at Civic Center Park.
Remembrance Ceremony
Later, there will be a roll call reading of local fallen heroes followed by a brief moment of silence to ignite the passion and patriotism we all hold inside. This is a great way to show your respect for all of our fallen heroes. The event is presented by the Colorado Fallen Heroes Memorial.
Veterans Day Parade
Presented by the United Launch Alliance, the Veterans Day Parade starts at Colfax and Bannock and ends at Civic Center Park. This is a great way to salute our local heroes and show your pride and patriotism. Denver’s first themed parade will present wars from throughout our Nation’s history.
Veterans Day Festival
Join local Veterans organizations and supporters at Civic Center Park for an afternoon that includes bands, beer, food and prizes. This special festival is presented by the Colorado Veterans Project.
These annual traditions in Denver are a wonderful way to bring the community together and recognize all those that have bravely fought in wars to ensure our country’s freedom and rights. We look forward to participating in these events alongside our customers, friends, and family.
