Please be advised - The SLFA has been notified by the Office of the Mayor that a new city policy standardizing parade routes has resulted in a reduction of the Armed Services Torchlight Parade route. We are deeply disappointed by this decision, as it directly impacts an 88-year-old tradition that has long been a source of pride in our community. We appreciate your continued participation and support as we work to honor and preserve this historic event. The great news is that while the route has been modified, our commitment to our Armed Forces and Community will remain at the highest standard possible.
