The town lists a four-hour downtown program

Drakes Branch says its Veterans Parade and Festivities are scheduled for Saturday, November 7, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. in downtown Drakes Branch. The town’s November 2 announcement lists food, music, a bounce house, vendors and other activities.

The notice frames the program as an occasion to honor veterans and build community. It does not provide a parade route, road-closure map, parking plan or rain policy in the readable text.

Recheck before traveling

Visitors should use the official town notice for any later access or weather update. The listed program is an announcement, not a guarantee that every vendor or activity will be available for the full four hours.

Drakes Branch is a town in Charlotte County; the event’s downtown location does not make every nearby address or service a town responsibility.
