PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) – Thousands gathered in downtown Palm Springs for the 28th Annual Veterans Day Parade & Concert: Honoring All Who Serve.
Organizers say the parade is of the largest in Southern California.
It featured marching bands, veterans’ organizations, classic cars concluding with a patriotic concert by the 300th Army Reserve Band and a fireworks finale.
Dr. Stephan Scoggins, veteran, said seeing the community show up means so much.
“I’ve attended the parades for many years,” Scoggins said. “I love it. It’s a true fellowship. It’s family, and it’s absolutely a reminder to be grateful and appreciative of all of those who have served.”
