Kentucky Veterans Parade & Celebration comes to NuLu!
Since its founding, the Kentucky Veterans Parade has brought together communities across the commonwealth to honor the courage and sacrifice of our veterans.
The parade and celebration proudly celebrates their 15th anniversary with a special day of remembrance, celebration, and unity on Saturday, November 8th at 11:00am.
This year’s event is hosted in NuLu, with support from the NuLu Business Association. Guests can enjoy local shops, food, and culture while celebrating our heroes. The parade route is E. Market Street from Campbell to Hancock.
Touch A Tank! (And Jeeps)
Get up close with military vehicles, including jeeps and a real tank! Kids and families can explore, take photos, and meet veterans who served in them.
Heroes Among Us
As part of this year’s Kentucky Veterans Parade and Celebration on Saturday, November 8, 2025, we’re inviting the community to nominate veterans to be part of a special recognition unit in the parade!
Blessing Of The Colors
A Sacred Tradition: Immediately following the parade, each color guard is invited to have its American flag blessed by a chaplain in a moving tribute to service and sacrifice.
