About this happenin
Since 2025 Orlando's Veterans Day Parade has been in Lake Nona, with the Lake Nona VA Medical Center and Tavistock as partners. It runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on a Saturday in early November, and there's no charge. In 2025 the line included veterans' organizations from around Central Florida, active-duty troops, high school JROTC cadets and UCF's Air Force and Army ROTC. The 2026 route starts at Lake Nona Town Center and loops out along Tavistock Lakes Boulevard, Veterans Way, Lake Nona Boulevard and Laureate Boulevard, passing the VA Hospital before it heads back. Street parking is open across Lake Nona, and there's more right where the parade stops. Follow the signs. The parade finishes at the Town Center near Boxi Park, where the official ceremony follows with sponsor exhibits and more for families to do.
