***The Parade will be run by the Hampton Roads Council of Veteran Organizations. For specific logistics, please wait until they are announced soon.***

ALL TIDEWATER COUNCIL PACKS, TROOPS, SHIPS, POSTS & CREWS ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 2026 TIDEWATER VETERAN’S DAY PARADE AND CEREMONY!

This year will commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America, so make sure to show your patriotism for this event!

Tuesday Morning Parade Check-in and line up begins at 7:30 AM at the 17th Street Park (next to the Dairy Queen on the Virginia Beach Oceanfront). We recommend parking at the Virginia Beach Convention Center Parking around 7:00 AM, as many roads will be closed from I-264 after 7:30 AM. An email will be sent out to registered participants once determined. Scouts will get to see the entire parade and then step off as one of the last units in the lineup.  

All units are requested to bring their American and unit flags. Scouts and Leaders should be in uniform. Scouts are invited to remain for the Memorial Service.  Register your unit to march in the parade and pre-order your patches no later than November 7, 2026.  Registration is required and a patch is available by pre-order. If you pre-order patches, Scouts that participate WILL RECIEVE THEM AT THE PARADE TO WEAR AS THEY MARCH.
