The Daffodil Festival and City of Tacoma partner for a “Celebration of Military Service” Parade, Saturday evening, August 24th in Downtown Tacoma.

Many decades ago, Tacoma hosted Armed Forces Day parades through downtown, and now The Daffodil Festival is proud to re-establish a new tradition with the 1st annual “Celebration of Military Service” Parade. The purpose of the parade is to celebrate and honor the large number of active duty and retired veterans living in and around Pierce County. This event is purposely not scheduled around a holiday or homecoming, but rather on a special August evening honoring those from military service.
