Join us Saturday, November 7, 2026, for the 14th Annual Regional Veterans Day Celebration at the Chaffee Crossing Historic District as we honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our nation. This year’s theme, “Happy Birthday, America,” celebrates our nation’s 250th anniversary by exploring America’s journey through a military lens, with special historical displays and a focus on Fort Chaffee’s important role in that journey.

The celebration begins with the Veteran Honors Ceremony at 10:00 AM, followed by one of Arkansas’s largest Veterans Day parades at noon. The parade will feature veterans, military vehicles, classic cars, community groups, patriotic displays, and more as we come together to reflect on our nation’s history, honor service and sacrifice, and celebrate the enduring spirit of America.

Hosted in the heart of the Chaffee Crossing Historic District - 7313 Terry Street, Fort Smith, AR. Contact 479-651-9917 for more info!
