However, the City of Mission is excited to announce the new dates for the festivities to honor the brave men and women who have served the nation selflessly. The R.E.D. Flag Ceremony is on Friday, November 17, at 9:30 a.m. at the Mission Police Department. Mission has proclaimed November 10th, and every subsequent Friday, as Remember Everyone Deployed (R.E.D) Day, reaffirming its support for the courageous individuals serving the country. Attendees are encouraged to wear red as a symbol of solidarity and appreciation. On that same day, November 17, all veterans are invited to attend the Veterans Appreciation BBQ at the Mission Parks & Recreation from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Whether dining in or opting for carry-out, veterans can enjoy a complimentary meal as a token of appreciation for their dedicated service. The highlight of the week is the annual Mission Veterans Parade, scheduled for November 18, starting at 12 p.m. The parade promises to be a vibrant display of patriotism, featuring over 60 entries of stunning floats, spirited school bands, horses, and much more. We encourage the community to come out in force to support our veterans and enjoy this extraordinary display. The parade starts at Conway Ave. and Business 83 and runs along E. Business 83. Following the parade, the celebration continues with a spectacular music festival from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the 5x5 Brewing Co. located at 801 Bryan Rd. The Loud and Clear Veteran Music Festival will offer a lively and memorable experience featuring veteran artists from across the Rio Grande Valley and Texas. The festival will include the Land of the Free Jeep Show. All events are open to the public and are free of charge. Below is the schedule of events for the festivities.
