Arlington has two exciting community celebrations on the horizon, and residents will want to mark their calendars for both.
First, the Texas Veterans Day Parade is set for November 11, 2026, right here in Arlington. The annual event is a cherished tradition that brings the community together to honor the men and women who have served in the United States military. The parade offers Arlington families a meaningful way to show gratitude and community pride, and it promises to be a memorable occasion for participants and spectators alike.
But that’s not all Arlington has to celebrate. The city is also marking a remarkable milestone: its 150th anniversary. To commemorate this sesquicentennial, Arlington is planning a special event featuring a time capsule burial and a tree planting ceremony. These two symbolic acts — one preserving a piece of today for future generations, the other putting down roots that will grow alongside the city for decades to come — beautifully capture the spirit of a community that honors its past while investing in its future.
Together, these events reflect what makes Arlington such a vibrant place to call home. Whether you’re a lifelong resident or a newcomer, the Veterans Day Parade and the 150th anniversary celebration offer a wonderful opportunity to connect with neighbors, reflect on the city’s rich history, and look forward with optimism to the next 150 years.
Stay tuned to the City of Arlington’s official channels for details on exact times, locations, and how you can participate in both events. Arlington is ready to celebrate — and the whole community is invited.
