Miami Veterans Day Activities

The Town of Miami is having a Veterans Day parade, ceremony, cookout and concert on Friday, November 11.

The parade will begin around 10:15am, followed by a ceremony at 11:00. Hot dogs, chips, water and soda will be served at the cookout. There is no charge but donations are welcome. The band Jaded will play for two hours following the ceremony.

Everyone who wants to participate may be in the parade. The only requirement is that the entry must display an American flag. There is no entry fee but you must fill out an entry form and submit it by Wednesday, November 9. Prizes will be awarded for the top three entries.

The Town is making a Miami Veterans Wall. Miami residents and former residents are invited to bring pictures of family members who served in the military. Bring them to Miami Town Hall by Tuesday, November 8.

Veterans who would like to set up a display of military items may do so at no cost.

If you would like to donate food or money for the ceremony, there is a donation jar at Miami Town Hall. One will also be at Miami Memorial Park on Veterans Day.
