The City of Summerville will honor the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces with its annual Veterans Day Parade and a special luncheon on Wednesday, November 11.

Veterans, their families and members of the community are invited to participate in the observances recognizing the service and sacrifices of America’s military veterans.

The parade will begin at 10 AM at Veterans Memorial Park, also known as Dowdy Park, in downtown Summerville.

All parade participants are asked to assemble at the park beginning at 9:30 AM.

The parade route will take participants from Veterans Memorial Park to Commerce Street before returning to the park.

Golf carts and vehicles will be available for veterans who wish to participate in the parade but prefer not to walk the route.

Following the parade, veterans are invited to attend a special luncheon at the Chattooga County Memorial Home beginning at 11:45 AM.

The luncheon provides an opportunity for veterans to gather, enjoy a meal and receive recognition for their military service.

Veterans Day is observed annually on November 11 and honors all Americans who have served in the nation’s armed forces.

Weather conditions are expected to be favorable for Wednesday’s outdoor observances. The National Weather Service forecast calls for mostly sunny skies and an afternoon high near 71 degrees.

The City of Summerville encourages veterans and community members to take part in Wednesday’s activities as the community comes together to recognize those who have served.

Again, the Veterans Day Parade begins Wednesday at 10 AM, with participants assembling at 9:30 AM at Veterans Memorial Park. The veterans luncheon follows at 11:45 AM at the Chattooga County Memorial Home.
