Jacksonville Veterans Day Parade

Not a Sierra Club event - we are joining the First Coast YMCA on this Veteran's Day Parade.
********************************************
Let's join the First Coast YMCA in the City of Jacksonville Veterans Day Parade, presented by The Law Offices of Ron Sholes, P.A., on Tuesday, November 11, 2025!
This is a great opportunity for our organizations to come together, show our shared spirit, and honor the brave men and women who have served our country. We’d love to have as many Sierra Club members as possible join us for this special day of celebration and community!
