The WA State American Gold Star Mothers will be carrying the Fallen Hero Banners in the Auburn Veterans Day Parade, Saturday, November 6th. The parade begins at 11 AM and we typically need to line up at 10 AM and pending our location in the parade, we are finished about 1 PM. It is the largest Veterans Day Parade west of the Mississippi. Ideally, our volunteers wear, red, white, blue.

It is a flat walk, a one-way parade.

***Roads close early, so be prepared to walk**** If you part near where we start, you will need to walk back to your car. The parade is a one-way route.

Recommended parking is the Auburn Transit Center....you then will walk to L Street and Main Street where we will hand out the banners.

After the parade, you will be near your car. You can find a place to park near L Street and Main Street and after the parade, you will walk back to your car.
