Hosted by the American Legion Post 701

Amsterdam, NY: The City of Amsterdam is pleased to announce Amsterdam’s Veteran’s Day Parade hosted by the American Legion Post 701 on Wednesday, November 11th will begin at 10am on Guy Park Avenue.

The parade is one of Amsterdam’s longest standing traditions. Every year bystanders come out to enjoy our annual Veteran’s Day Parade that runs down historic Guy Park Avenue. We will also have the award-winning Amsterdam Marching Rams closing out the parade.

Judge Lorraine Diamond (and Marine Corps Veteran) stated “Our Veterans Day Parade is more than a tradition; it is an opportunity for our community to come together to honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment of the men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform. The freedoms we enjoy every day were secured and preserved by generations of Veterans who answered the call to serve. We hope to see you on November 11th at 10:00 am for the parade.  Anyone wishing to march please arrive at 9:30 am at the corner of Evelyn and Guy Park Avenue.  All are welcome!”

“Attending Amsterdam’s Veterans Day Parade and the beautiful tribute ceremony that follows, is a wonderful and fitting way to show our gratitude for the men and women from our community who served our country. They deserve this and so much more.” Said Mayor Cinquanti.

After the parade, please join us at Veteran’s Park for our ceremony that will begin at 11am.
