West Richland Regional Veterans Day Parade
Honor our veterans and active duty service members at the Tri-Cities’ official Veterans Day parade.
Each November, people gather in West Richland to honor veterans and active-duty service members at the annual West Richland Veterans Day Parade. This year, the parade has been selected by the Veterans Day National Committee as a VA-recognized Veterans Day Regional Site for 2026.
About the Parade
For more than 25 years, the West Richland Chamber of Commerce has organized one of the most anticipated Veterans Day parades in the region. In recognition of its impact, the parade has been named a National Regional Designation Site for Veterans Day celebrations for 2026. The parade has grown each year, and in 2025 it featured more than 100 entries, including floats, marching bands, military vehicles, community groups, and veterans service organizations.
