DENVER — In honor of Veterans Day, hundreds of Coloradans will honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country at Denver's annual Veterans Day Run, Parade and Festival.

The events, hosted by the Colorado Veterans Project, will be held Saturday at City Park in Denver.

Veterans Day Parade

Comprised of local veterans organizations and supporters, the Denver Veterans Day Parade will be held at City Park at 9 a.m. Saturday after a run.
