Tulsa’s Veterans Day Parade steps off Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 11 a.m.
Wednesday, Nov. 11, 11 a.m., hosted by VFW Post 577. The parade site and the city filings do not print the same 3rd Street address.
Wednesday, Nov. 11, is the Veterans Day Parade, on the day the city says Route 66 turns 100.
VFW Post 577 lists the Tulsa Veterans Day Parade for Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026, at 11 a.m. The parade site’s morning runs earlier than the step-off: breakfast at the post, 7–8 a.m., participants line up 8:30–9:30 a.m., the parade at 11 a.m., and an after-party at 11:30 a.m. The “where” line, the breakfast, and the after-party all name 1109 E. 6th St. The site says registration for the 2026 parade is closed. It does not list an admission price.
The city’s special-events calendar lists the same 11 a.m. parade, hosted by the post, with an anticipated 5,000 people. It puts the location at 10 E. 3rd St. to 1109 E. 6th St. The permit application for the same event puts it at 101 E. 3rd St. to 1109 E. 6th St., and the window on that application is 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. The calendar lists road closures for staging 8:30 a.m.–2 p.m. and the route 10:30 a.m.–2 p.m. That calendar says its listings come from permit applications and are not approved until a permit is issued.
The same calendar lists a separate Route 66 Centennial Celebration that afternoon, 3–7 p.m., at 500 N. Main St., hosted by RumbleDrum, with an anticipated 1,000 people and a road closure from 6 a.m. Nov. 10 through midnight Nov. 11. The application (SPEV-253168-2026) calls it a block party from 300 N. Main St. to 500 N. Main St., with live entertainment, food and merchandise sales, and beer and wine sales. It names King Cabbage Band from 3 to 6:30 p.m., lists one band and two stages, and names sponsors Cherokee Nation Businesses and Hard Rock. Setup closures on the form are Main Street between Cameron Street and Easton Street, Cameron Street between Main Street and Boston Avenue, and Easton Street between Main Street and Boulder Avenue. The form lists seven food vendors and zero food trucks. An attached layout names food trucks. The application’s issue-date line is blank.
The city’s Route 66 page says Tulsa is known as the Capital of Route 66, and that Nov. 11, 2026, marks the road’s 100th year. A longer public schedule is circulating for Wednesday, Nov. 11. This note sticks to the parade site and the city filings.
