The East Valley Veterans Parade returns to downtown Mesa on Veterans Day, Wednesday Nov. 11. The parade route has been changed in an effort to improve the areas available for spectators to view the event. The parade will begin at 11 a.m. at the intersection of Center Street and University Drive and will travel south on Center Street and turn west on First Street. The parade will continue on First Street to Robson where it will end. This route offers wide, tree-lined streets for the entire length of the parade and will be easily accessible for all.
. . . The City of Mesa will be closed in observance of Veterans Day. The closure includes libraries and recreation centers. Trash and recycle barrels will be on the normal collection schedule. Residents should have their containers out no later than 6 a.m. The Mesa Arts Center is open with several events taking place including the benefit concert at 12:30 p.m. While the box office will be open, the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum, The Store and administrative offices will be closed. The Arizona Museum of Natural History and Arizona Museum for Youth will also be closed. The Dobson Ranch Golf Course will be open and the Kino Aquatic Center and Skyline Aquatic Center will be open for adult lap swimming.
