Scheduled participants include local veterans groups, military units, marching bands, the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, vintage military vehicles, and high-wheel bicyclists from the wheelmen.
Patriotic Concert at 2 p.m.
Following the parade along Main Street, the Veterans Day observance continues at 2:00 p.m. with a free concert by the Pleasanton Community Concert Band, directed by Josh Butterfield.
