HONORING AMERICA’S VETERANS TO HOST THE 29TH ANNUAL VETERANS DAY PARADE ON NOVEMBER 11th IN CENTRAL PHOENIX
Parade Grand Marshals are Veterans from World War II through the Present day, and Celebrity Grand Marshal is Randy Couture
Phoenix, AZ — From World War II to today’s global conflicts, generations of American heroes will be honored as the 2025 Honoring America’s Veterans Phoenix Veterans Day Parade marks its 29th year of celebration and service with the theme “America, Our Guiding Light.”
More than 90 parade entries and seven high school marching bands will honor our nation’s veterans as the community gathers along the streets of Phoenix at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2025, to offer thanks to those who have served.
“Every year, our veterans tell us that the parade brings them something they can’t find anywhere else. It brings them a sense of healing, belonging, and gratitude that stays with them long after the day is over,” said Paula Pedene, U.S. Navy Veteran and Executive Director of HAV. “When the community lines the streets and cheers, it’s not just a parade, it’s a powerful embrace from a city that remembers their sacrifice and says, thank you for your service.”
Spectators can watch anywhere along the route, which begins at Montebello and Central Avenue, crosses east on Camelback Road, turns south on 7th Street, and ends at Indian School Road. The parade will also be livestreamed on ABC 15’s Facebook page.
“It’s a real honor to be part of an event that means so much to those who’ve worn the uniform,” said Randy Couture, U.S. Army Veteran and Celebrity Grand Marshal. “As a veteran myself, I know how powerful it is to feel seen, appreciated, and celebrated by your community. I’m proud to stand alongside my fellow veterans on this special day.”
“Please come out,” said Pedene. “Your support means everything to our veterans. When you wave, smile, and say thank you, it truly touches their hearts and reminds them that their service still matters.”
