Pigeon Forge Cancels Veterans Homecoming Parade

Due to ongoing Covid-19-related concerns for public safety, the city of Pigeon Forge cancelled its annual Veterans Homecoming Parade.

The parade was set to take place August 8.

“We look forward to honoring our veterans each year during Pigeon Forge’s Veterans Homecoming Parade, but given this year’s circumstances, we feel it is in everyone’s best interest to cancel this event,” said Pigeon Forge City Manager Earlene Teaster. “We appreciate our veterans year-round, and while the parade won’t take place this year, our gratitude and respect for these great heroes never wavers.”

The 2021 Veterans Homecoming Parade is scheduled for August 7, 2021 on the Parkway in Pigeon Forge. For more information, please visit MyPigeonForge.com/events.
