Charlotte Salutes Veterans with Uptown Parade and Issues Road Closures and Traffic Advisory

Uptown Charlotte hosted the annual Salute to Veterans Parade this weekend, bringing thousands together to honor U.S. Armed Forces veterans. According to

WBTV

, the parade began at 11 a.m. on yesterday with Tryon Street closed from Brooklyn Village Ave. to College-Tryon Street from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Veterans Day celebration, organized by the Carolinas Freedom Foundation, will take place on yesterday, with over 2,000 participants. The parade will start at Tryon and Ninth Street and head south toward Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Further details obtained by

WSOCTV

indicate that the road closures will extend “a little further from West 11th Street towards East Brooklyn Village Avenue.” Additionally, all secondary side roads from West 11th Street to Levine Avenue of the Arts will also be impassable to vehicular traffic, penned to reopen by 2 p.m. on Saturday.

For those needing to navigate around Uptown during the parade, alternative routes via South Church Street and South College Street are advised to circumvent the closures and the influx of foot traffic expected in the area. Charlotte residents are encouraged to plan ahead to ensure the proceedings are nothing short of a respectful salute to our nation’s veterans.
