For a group hoping to take part in Folsom’s Wayne Spence Veterans Day Parade, the date to act on comes before Veterans Day itself. The city asks participants to submit a parade entry form by October 23, 2026, ahead of the Wednesday, November 11 procession.

The announced start time is 9 a.m. The route begins on East Bidwell Street in front of the Target and HomeGoods shopping center and ends at Folsom Community Center, 52 Natoma Street. Check the city’s event page for the current entry form and updates; an article is not an accepted registration.

Before submitting, decide who will coordinate the group and read the organizer’s instructions about participation, arrival and conduct. Direct questions to the city’s listed event contact rather than assuming last year’s arrangements carry forward. Keep the information in one place so participants receive the same details as the day approaches.

Spectators can prepare separately by reviewing access information closer to the event and choosing a place that suits their group. Allow time for changes to traffic and parking without guessing at unannounced closures. Whether marching or watching, the occasion offers a chance to recognize local veterans through a shared community gathering.
