2026 Fayetteville Veterans Day Parade and Community Fair

About this event

Hello, my name is LTC (Ret) Jay Stout and once again I'm organizing the 2026 Fayetteville Veterans Day Parade. Please mark your calendars for the morning of November the 7th and will begin at 11:00am.

I’m calling for all entries to show their patriotism and appreciation for Veterans in Northwest Arkansas. Specifically, I would like to see:

1. Veteran Organizations of all kinds that have “assisting Veterans” in their mission statement.

2. Federal and State organizations whose sole mission is advancing Veteran causes to improve overall quality of life.

3. Youth organizations that are active in the community in some civic and patriotic events encourage life-long community service.

4. Veteran-Owned Business or Locally-headquartered Businesses that actively seek Veterans for Hire.

5. All other businesses, depending on space available; however, they must prioritize patriotism and clearly support the Uniformed Services of the United States that have kept this country free.

The parade line up will be along East Ave and will begin as soon as they hit Dickson Street. It will continue down Dickson and turn at West Ave (going from East to West) and finish about a block from that intersection. (diagram attached)

Afterwards, there will also be a Veterans Community Fair for organizations to tell the general public how they help Veterans as part of their mission statement and possibly reach some Veterans that are unaware of your services.
