About the Mission:

Monroe County’s Second Annual Veterans Day Parade will be held Saturday, November 11, 2023. The parade will kick off at 10:30 a.m. at the corner of South Goodman Street and Highland Avenue and proceed up Highland Avenue to the Greater Rochester Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Gary Beikirch Park on South Avenue.

The Grand Marshal of this year’s parade will be Monroe County Sheriff Todd K. Baxter. He is a 35-year veteran of local law enforcement who served three years of active duty with the U.S. Army as a Military Police Officer and continued his service with the U.S. Army Reserve, 98th Division for an additional 19 years before retiring in 2005 as a Master Sergeant, Brigade Anti- Terrorism and Training Non-commissioned officer.

The parade will include musical marching units, veterans’ service organizations, law enforcement, military-style vehicles, high-ranking active duty service members and groups representing veterans of all eras and military branches. Additionally, a group of 50 individuals and families who found red-tinted roses as part of the county’s Never Forget Roses scavenger hunt partnership with the Veteran’s Outreach Center are invited to bring their roses and march in the parade.

A family-oriented Honor Ceremony featuring music and local food vendors will immediately follow at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
