Hollister Veterans Day Parade Scheduled November 11: Assembly at 12:30, Parade at 1:30

HOLLISTER — November 7, 2026. Local veterans’ groups have scheduled the annual Hollister Veterans Day Parade for Wednesday, November 11, inviting residents to recognize veterans and active service members downtown.

Parade schedule

Participants will assemble at 12:30 p.m. near Haydon and Monterey streets, with the parade expected to begin at 1:30 p.m. The procession will pass the Veterans Memorial Building area. Visitors should follow any official traffic or street-closure instructions, and should not assume every route remains available to vehicles during the event.

Who is organizing it

VFW Post 9242 is involved in the planning and coordination. The organizers invite civic groups and community participation, with the focus on honoring those who served rather than using the event as a political rally.

Registration status matters

The published entry registration deadline was November 5, which has already passed. Those interested in entering a group should ask whether any late accommodation is possible rather than assume registration remains open. The organizer contacts listed are Ryan Grimes, 408-564-2521, and Mike Canning, 831-673-0414. Parade attendance and final participant counts are not yet known.
