Veterans on Parade

Port Allen's annual parade was the first in South Louisiana to honor those who've served and all military who are currently serving our country, and it'll be rolling down North Jefferson Avenue once again this year. 

Placement on floats and beads will be made available in advance for any veteran wishing to ride. For veterans wishing to watch, a special covered seating area will be available on the lawn at the West Baton Rouge Museum, where each float will stop to salute and honor those veterans. 

The parade will conclude at the museum for a special Veterans Memorial Ceremony honoring all veterans. Afterwards, all visitors and special guests will be invited to enjoy a reception with live music by Ole Time Music Jam participants, as well as free entry into the new exhibit One Half of the People. 1:30 pm.
