Constitution Avenue will come alive on May 26, 2025, with the sights and sounds of the National Memorial Day Parade!

You’ll find marching bands — from high school to the military, color guards, floats, military units, veterans groups, and more! There are even pre-parade live music performances. The parade begins at 2 pm, with pre-parade musical performances starting at 1 pm.

You can find this special event on the National Mall. The parade route is along Constitution Ave. from 7th to 17th Street, NW. There is no reserved seating available, so bring your own lawn chairs if you wish to sit.
