The parade will begin at First Baptist Church, located at Broadway and Avenue W. It will then proceed eastward on Broadway to Avenue N. At Avenue N, the parade route will continue northward to 10th Street. At 10th Street, the parade will proceed eastward to Avenue M. It will then head northward on Avenue M to the parking lot of the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center.
Participants are encouraged to pay tribute to veterans and all who have served the community. Veterans, their family members, businesses, advocates, organizations, marching bands, and all advocates are encouraged to participate.
We are so excited to organize an event dedicated to our brave veterans who have lived up to the 2017 parade theme,” said Christy Martinez-Garcia, Chair of the Parade Committee, and a Veteran’s Advocate.
She added that they hope to have many supporters to cheer participating veterans.
“These men and women have served our country with dedication and courage, and for that we are proud to continue what we hope will become a growing Lubbock tradition in honor of our veterans.”
