Fly the Flag parade rolls in

The Fly the Flag Parade is a rolling statement of pride, unity, and respect for our great Nation. The American Flag always flies first! It reminds us that freedom isn’t free — it’s earned by the sacrifice of our heroes. Military Branch Flags follow proudly, representing the strength and courage of our Armed Forces. Every vehicle in the parade is a moving thank you to every Veteran and Active Duty hero. This is how we stand up for our country and honor its legacy of service.

Parade staging begins at 5:15 P.M. located at Stone City VFW (124 Stone City Drive, Joliet, Illinois) and will head south on Route 53 for approximately two miles at 6:15 PM. All vehicles will drive around the dirt oval track during the National Anthem.
