The city ceremony

The City of Clermont holds its 2026 Veterans Day ceremony at the Arts and Recreation Center on U.S. 27, south of downtown, at 11 a.m. on Veterans Day itself. The city has not posted a program, speakers or parking notes yet; this page will be updated when it does.

The city’s page asks two groups to get in touch:

  • Veterans who want to share their story as part of the event can contact Melinda Beltran at MBeltran@Clermontfl.org.
  • Vendors and sponsors can contact Cory Cody at CCody@ClermontFl.org.

The page also links the city’s promotional video from last year’s event.

Is there a parade?

None is listed for 2026. The city’s Veterans Day page and its November calendar list only the Nov. 11 ceremony. The City of Clermont’s 2026 special events list (PDF) does not include a Veterans Day parade either. If the city adds one, the date, route and road closures will go here and on our road construction and closures page.
