The 37th annual VDP will assemble in Downtown Joplin beginning at 8:30 a.m. between 15th and 20th Streets on Main Street.
At 10:00 a.m. the parade will process North bound on Main Street, turning West (left) onto 3rd Street, then turning South (left) onto Joplin Avenue concluding in the parking lot behind City Hall at 6th Street.
Due to liability constraints, no tossing of objects or candy will be permitted along the parade route. However many entrants will have walkers passing out items to the spectators! We hope you’ll join us as we pay tribute to our great American heroes, our Veterans!
