Remembrance and Veterans Day Events Across UK, US

Communities across the UK and US are holding Remembrance and Veterans Day services, parades, wreath‑layings, concerts, races and family events in early November, centered on Remembrance Sunday on Nov. 9 in the UK and Veterans Day on Nov. 11 in the US. In the UK, Enfield and Hackney councils have published detailed parade routes and timings for Nov. 9, with services led by local dignitaries including Deputy Lieutenant Ann Cable and Hackney’s Representative Deputy Lieutenant Stephen Howlett, and larger regional observances are planned across the West Midlands alongside national commemorations the BBC will broadcast, including the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance and the National Service at the Cenotaph. In the US, local calendars from Chicagoland to Southwest Florida, the Tri‑State area and South Bend list largely free public events between Nov. 1–11 — parades, concerts, 5Ks, markets and a new Veterans History Museum opening. Local businesses and charities are supporting veterans through discounts, donation drives and programs such as Red White & Que Smokehouse’s year‑round “Buy a Vet a Meal,” and organizers urge the public to check local schedules, registration and road‑closure information before attending.
