March with purpose
Vietnam veterans are invited to take their place at the heart of the parade. Community groups, businesses, bands, vehicle clubs, and civic organizations can join them in creating Orange County’s welcome home.
Veterans and families
Vietnam veterans may participate individually, with family, with a veterans organization, in a vehicle, or as part of another recognized unit. We want participation to be welcoming and accessible, including for veterans who cannot comfortably walk the full route.
Community entries
Schools, nonprofits, civic groups, cultural organizations, first responders, car and motorcycle clubs, and local businesses may propose walking units, decorated vehicles, floats, or other respectful entries.
Bands and ceremonial units
Marching bands, color guards, drill teams, and similar groups are encouraged to express interest. Final entry requirements will follow City coordination.
Participation interest
Share whether you are a Vietnam veteran, family member, organization, business, band, vehicle group, or proposed float.
