VA-Recognized Veterans Day 2025 Observances By State

by · Published · Updated

Veterans Day Events by state

The Veterans Day National Committee (VDNC) hosts the annual National Veterans Day Ceremony on November 11 at Arlington National Cemetery. The ceremony commences at 11:00 a.m. ET with a Presidential Wreath Laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and continues inside the Memorial Amphitheater with a parade of colors by Veterans’ organizations and remarks from dignitaries.

To ensure fitting tributes occur across the country, VA and the VDNC encouraged communities and nonprofit organizations to host VA-approved Veterans Day observances. This year, 56 communities across 28 states will host VA-recognized Veterans Day observances to pay tribute to America’s heroes. 

Each regional site receives a supply of Veterans Day posters, military ceremonial support from the Department of War (DoW), and a certificate from the Secretary of Veterans Affairs for inclusion in their event programs.

After Veterans Day, if you are interested, learn how to apply for your community to become a regional site in 2026.

The list of VA-recognized regional Veterans Day sites for 2025 is below. Can’t make it to a regional site? Many local Veterans Day ceremonies and parades are held nationwide. Check your local news TV stations and websites, Veterans organizations and charities, or access VA’s events calendar for more information.
