2020 Veterans Day Parade Canceled
May 15, 2020 – The Portland Veterans Day Parade, sponsored by Ross Hollywood Funeral Chapel, in Portland’s Hollywood District, will be canceled for the 2020 year. The coordination and logistics required to execute the Veterans Day celebration take months of committee meetings and planning well before November 11. With current gathering restrictions still in place due to COVID-19, and other reasons including public safety being of the utmost importance, we will not host the parade this year. This decision was not made lightly, as honoring our Veterans has been our privilege for the past 45 years.
With Armed Forces Day approaching on Saturday, May 16, we would like to take this opportunity to say a very heartfelt thank you to all Veterans for their service. We will never forget the sacrifices made for our country.
