Veterans Day parade steps off Saturday afternoon on Main Street, not on the holiday itself

Veterans Day falls on a Wednesday this year, but Denison's parade for those who served is set for the weekend.

The Veterans Day Parade is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, on Main Street, American Legion member Heather Whitney said in an interview on KXII's Talk of the Town segment, according to the station. The City of Denison's online calendar also lists the parade downtown on Nov. 14.

Some earlier Veterans Day roundups listed the parade's 2 p.m. start without a date, alongside events held on the holiday itself.

The parade comes at the end of a week of Veterans Day events in the area. City offices and the Residential Collection Station were closed Wednesday for the holiday. Sherman held its eighth annual Veterans Parade last Saturday, Nov. 7.

Neither the city calendar entry nor the KXII segment gives a parade route beyond Main Street, a lineup time for participants or how groups can enter. The city's main number at City Hall, 300 W. Main St., is 903-465-2720.
