We’ve posted previously about some Veterans Day events in Cobb County that are taking place this Saturday, Nov. 6, including the “Give Thanks for Those Who Served” festivities at East Cobb Park, and honoring women veterans at Jim Miller Park.
Also on Saturday, there’s a salute to veterans at The Battery Atlanta from 1-5 p.m. It’s organized by the Georgia Veterans Day organization for its 40th anniversary and starts off with a parade, followed by a program at the Georgia Power Pavilion Stage starting at 2 p.m
Veterans Day is Thursday, Nov. 11, and the 17th annual Veterans Day parade and ceremony presented by the Marietta Kiwanis Club and the City of Marietta.
The parade starts at 10:45 a.m. at Roswell Street Baptist Church, then heads to the Marietta Square, with an anticipated start time of 11:11 for the ceremony.
That commemorates the Armistice to end World War I on Nov. 11, 1918, at 11:11 a.m.
On Saturday, Nov. 13, the Marietta Square will be the venue for a military appreciation concert by the Georgia Symphony Orchestra starting at 10:30 a.m.
It’s part of a larger event that follows the 7th annual American Legion Post 29 Veterans Memorial 5K run/walk/wheelchair race.
Proceeds from the race will benefit Shepherds Men SHARE Initiative, the Georgia National Guard Family Support Foundation and Post 29 Service Officer.
All the other Veterans Day events included here are free and open to the public.
