Parade en route
By Wade KwonIt’ll be 70 degrees and sunny this afternoon, perfect for a parade.
For nearly 60 years, Birmingham has been home to the oldest and biggest Veterans Day observance. One tradition is the downtown parade, and I’ve seen it a few times. Always worth the trip.
The parade starts at 1:30 p.m.
Route:
- Starts at Eighth Avenue North and 19th Street,
- heading south to Fifth Avenue,
- east to 22nd Street,
- south to Second Avenue,
- west to 18th Street,
- north to the end at Sixth Avenue.
