Reno's 2009 Veterans Day Parade

Reno's Veterans Day Parade is on Wednesday, November 11. The parade route is along S. Virginia Street in downtown Reno, starting at Court Street at 11 a.m. and running north to 5th Street. Along the way, the parade will stop on the Virginia Street bridge to drop a wreath into the Truckee River in memory of the fallen men and women of our Armed Forces. The parade will include veterans groups, high school marching bands, civic organizations, and patriotic citizens.

No Fees for Vets on Veterans Day - Veterans and active duty military personnel, along with their families, will pay no recreation-related fees when they visit federal recreation lands on Veterans Day. The fee waiver always applies on November 11, even if the official observance of the holiday is on a different day. This program started in 2006 and applies to lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Reclamation, and the U.S. Forest Service.

In the Reno / Tahoe area, numerous public lands are available under the program. To learn more, visit the Nevada Bureau of Land Management, the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, the Tahoe National Forest, and the Nevada Fish & Wildlife Office.
