The Veterans of Smith County invite everyone to come out and show their support during the 2025 Veterans Day Parade on Sunday, November 9th, in Carthage, Tennessee.
The parade will begin at 2:00 p.m. and will feature local school bands, Scouting youth, emergency vehicles, antique cars, and area motorcycle groups. Parade line-up will start at 1:00 p.m. on Carmack Avenue, with the route proceeding down Main Street and ending at the Historic Smith County Courthouse.
Following the parade, a Veterans Ceremony will be held on the courthouse steps. This year’s Guest of Honor is SgtMaj Jon Henry, United States Marine Corps (Retired). A group photo of all veterans present will be taken after the ceremony.
All veterans are welcome and encouraged to participate in the parade. Those who own antique cars are invited to drive a veteran who may be unable to walk the route, while other veterans are welcome to ride on the parade wagons stationed on Carmack Avenue.
Come out and line the streets of Carthage in honor of the men and women who have served our country.
For those unable to attend in person, Smith County Insider will provide live coverage of the parade on our Facebook page.
