Wyoming Valley Veterans Day Parade set for Sunday, Nov. 6

KINGSTON — The Wyoming Valley Veterans Day Parade will be held on Sunday, Nov. 6, and will step off at 2 p.m. at Kingston Corners.

It will be preceded by an 11 a.m. brunch at VFW Post 283, 757 Wyoming Ave., Kingston.

The parade route goes down Market Street, across the Market Street Bridge and around Public Square where the reviewing stand is located.

A grand marshal has not yet been announced.

Col. Charles Luce, Parade Committee Municipalities Coordinator, said the Parade Committee is requesting that a “Toys for Tots” drop off point be placed in the center of Public Square during the parade. He said this will allow both spectators and parade participants to “drop” off a new, unopened toys for the annual Christmas drive.

A picture of last year’s fly-over was also was given, showing the fly-over from a parade viewers point of view.
