Wednesday, November 11, 2026 · Cities · GSM News

SAN JOSE — At noon on November 11, the 108th San Jose Veterans Day Parade stepped off in downtown San Jose, the largest Veterans Day parade in Northern California.

The roughly one-mile route started at Almaden Boulevard and Santa Clara Street, proceeded east on Santa Clara Street, turned onto Market Street past Plaza de Cesar Chavez and ended at San Carlos Street. San Jose Fire Department ladder trucks suspended a giant American flag over the route, and military vehicles, honor guards, school bands and veterans organizations marched.

Held every year since 1919 with support from the City of San Jose and Santa Clara County, the parade is organized by the United Veterans Council of Santa Clara County. San Jose is the principal city of Silicon Valley.
