The Regional Veterans Park and the City of Zachary are thrilled to present Zachary’s First
Annual Veterans Day Parade, scheduled for Monday, November 11th, at approximately 9 a.m.
The “Zachary Salute to Veterans Parade” will follow the Regional Veterans Park’s Annual
Ceremony and begin at the Bank of Zachary, concluding at Zachary High School. Veterans of all
ages are warmly invited to participate, with local antique car owners generously offering their
vehicles to honor them along the parade route.

The antique cars will depart immediately following the Veterans Day Ceremony at the Regional
Veterans Park, located behind Lane Hospital. Veterans interested in participating can reach out
to Darren Spears, Regional Veterans Parade organizer, at [email protected]
or contact the City of Zachary Mayor’s Office at 225-654-0287.

Local antique car clubs are also coming together to support veterans in the parade. If you own
an antique car and would like to drive a veteran along the route, please contact Darren Spears
at [email protected] or pick up a “Driver Form” at City Hall, 4700 Main Street.
