Overview

The National Memorial Day parade in Washington D.C. is the greatest celebration of all those who have served in our armed forces. Each year, this event attracts tens of thousands of spectators who gather and pay tribute to all veterans, current military soldiers and their families.

Kids and parents stand proud along the parade route starting at Third and Madison in red, white and blue waving and cheering as many of our soldiers walk by.   Grab your miniature American flag and wave it high in the air to show your patriotic spirit.    Sing the songs of the passing marching bands and wave to the many youth groups and floats as they roll by.   You can even salute forces from other countries including the Untied Kingdom, France and Canada.

This two hour parade is the perfect annual tradition for families and a great way to teach your children about the many people who fight each day for our freedom. The National Memorial Day Parade will garner memories to last your child’s lifetime.
