Baldwin Park Veterans Day Ceremony Set for November 11; Residents Invited to Nominate Local Veterans

BALDWIN PARK, Los Angeles County — October 25, 2026. Baldwin Park will hold its 35th Annual Veterans Day Ceremony on Wednesday, November 11, at 1 p.m. at the Morgan Park Amphitheater, 4100 Baldwin Park Boulevard, according to an official city announcement posted October 21. A Veterans Resource Fair is planned as part of the gathering.

What’s on the program?

The city invites veterans, relatives and other residents to attend the public ceremony and to bring photographs, medals or military keepsakes for possible display. Baldwin Park has announced refreshments and a performance by The Hollywood Dolls following the ceremony. Veterans are encouraged by the city to attend in uniform if they wish. The announcement does not identify a specific admission charge or all logistical details; attendees should review the city’s latest notice before traveling.

How to nominate a Baldwin Park veteran

A separate municipal notice invites nominations of veterans who reside in Baldwin Park. Nomination packets should include the city’s Veteran Nomination Form and a brief military service biography. The city requests documentation such as a DD-214 or discharge papers, while noting that retired veterans do not need those forms. Completed applications may be submitted to the Esther Snyder Community Center, 4100 Baldwin Park Boulevard. Residents should contact the organizer for the current submission deadline and requirements, as the notice reviewed did not establish a final deadline.

For nomination or ceremony questions, contact Wendy Hernandez at (626) 813-5245, extension 320, or Whernandez@baldwinparkca.gov. Military discharge documents can include sensitive personal information, so submit them only through the process specified by the city, not through public social-media comments.

Another upcoming deadline: holiday parade entries

Baldwin Park’s city news listing also invites applications for the annual Holiday Parade on December 5. It lists an entry deadline of November 2, 2026 for participating groups and floats. The city directs questions about parade entries to (626) 813-5245, extension 302. This application is separate from the Veterans Day recognition process.

Public services and regular events

The city’s October 25–31 calendar lists a free Art in the Park drop-in craft session at Susan Rubio Zocalo Park on Monday, October 26, 5–7 p.m., and Kids Club and Planning Commission activities later in the week. Residents should check the issuing department’s latest schedule for cancellations or changes.
