Welcome to the Hawai‘i Island Veterans Day Parade Entry Form!
 
THANK YOU. We are thrilled you/your group plans to participate because of all you do for our island.  Feel free to tell others to join you. This Entry form must be filled out to be registered for the 2025 Hawaii Island Veterans Day Parade. Before you submit it, please pay special attention to the narrative of your group included in this entry form. Make it concise, easy, and fun for our multiple announcers along the route to read and highlight your message. Tell others how you support them and offer thanks to our Veterans who signed up to pay the ultimate sacrifice to serve us all.  

PLEASE HELP. Parades take donations and plenty of volunteers. We have been blessed with generous support over the years and with talented volunteers. YOU CAN Help! PLEASE spread the word as we plan to share again in the magic of a parade as special as ours where SERVICE is our focus. We look forward to creative ideas that highlight our military, community groups/leaders, and businesses making a difference every day. All support and donations are welcome.  

REGISTER. As a participant, your first responsibility is to MEET OUR REGISTRATION DEADLINE for submission -  Wednesday, October 29, 2025.  Our Volunteers want to avoid late hours of effort because you did not submit it on time. If you have not registered by this date, you may still join our parade * (*with this understanding - your narrative may be modified to meet time limits and the parade intent, or NOT INCLUDED if received late)

PARADE DAY. Line up will begin at 8:00 am (arrive NLT 9:15 am) on Saturday, November 8, 2025 at Wailoa State Park near the King Kamehameha Statue. Parade numbers will be provided at our Registration Tent. All units will be listed by the name of the Sponsoring organization that you register under.  DO NOT drop children in the middle of the street – please park and walk them to their floats or the staging area to meet their groups. 

QUESTIONS. For more information on the Hawaii Island Veterans Day Parade, go to www.hivetparade.org. If you have additional questions, please email us at support@hivetparade.org

PLEASE NOTE - 
We choose to hold our live parade on a SATURDAY to celebrate within a week of Veterans Day (11 Nov)  starting at 10 am. Saturdays maximize participation and do not conflict with the many traditional island-wide ceremonies held on the 11th.

WHAT PARADE ANNOUNCERS WILL READ AND WEBSITE WILL POST.  Be creative and concise. This information will be announced multiple times over the loudspeakers at the parade by route announcers as your parade entry passes by and possibly videotaped, especially as you pass the VIP Veteran and Family (and those with limited mobility ) Viewing Tents at the end. We want to highlight how you serve our community - a gift of priceless relationship marketing to promote service (not a plug for someone's business with no mention of Veterans or service). Help us help you explain your compelling story, the ways you serve the community, and inspire like-minded people to work with you! Together we can achieve more throughout the year. BE SURE TO  create a message that will help us make it a fun experience for all, Celebrate Service and include some mention that Honors all Veterans. (MAX 40 words please for small units, large units up to 60 words.)
It is understood that service groups, businesses and organizations have their own insurance. For those without insurance, we ask you to certify a release of liability. *
