Gettysburg Remembrance Day Parade 2022

The Remembrance Day Parade in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, is held once each year along Baltimore Avenue. This is from the view of Brickhouse Inn, which sits at the best location or parades as they pass by and turn on Steinwehr Avenue, allowing guests to stay on porch swings and on the front lawn that is elevated to watch the parade from comfortably above the crowd.

The parade takes place in the afternoon and is part of a larger weekend-long event that includes the Dedication Ceremony in the morning at the Gettysburg National Cemetery, and a solemn Illumination in the evening. The parade walks down Baltimore Ave, the street where Abraham Lincoln traversed on horseback on his way to the cemetery to deliver the Gettysburg Address. The other two events take place in the cemetery itself. The Dedication Day Ceremony takes place in the spot where Lincoln delivered his address, and the illumination is held in the same cemetery later in the evening.

Parade: Nearly a thousand Civil War reenactors in full gear on foot and on horseback walk down Baltimore St and Steinwehr Ave, with live bands playing as they march.

Dedication Day Ceremony: A moving event, the 2022 event included a citizenship ceremony, remarks, and a moving speech to remember why the Battle of Gettysburg - and the Civil War- was necessary to fight, and to win. Includes a Civil War Band and other ceremonies honoring those who fought and died in the Battle of Gettysburg.

Illumination: The third must-do event is a solemn evening walk through the paper and candle-illuminated lined Gettysburg National Cemetery, which we will show in a separate video.
