The Connecticut Veterans Day Parade is an apolitical and respectful salute
to Connecticut veterans. Politicians who wish to march in the Parade must be
elected/appointed State and municipal legislators who currently
represent/serve Connecticut residents. This includes US and State Senators
and Representatives, mayors and members of Town/City Council and Boards of
Selectmen.
Politicians who plan to march should provide advance written notice, either
by completing a Participant
Application, emailing
rz.pme-events@snet.net or faxing a letter to 203-286-1675.
Political candidates who have not been elected or appointed to office at the
time of the Parade are ineligible to march in their capacity as a candidate
for office. However, if they are a veteran they are encouraged to march with
their affiliated group (VFW, Korean War Vets, etc.).
No candidate for office, including incumbent candidates, may distribute
campaign flyers or paraphernalia or display campaign signage while
participating in the Parade.
For safety reasons, distribution of handbills, candy etc. by any Parade
participant is strictly forbidden by the City of Hartford.
All Parade participants are required to read and abide by the
Parade Guidelines.
