Coconut Grove will observe Veterans Day on Wednesday, Nov. 11, with a graveside ceremony and a parade along Grand Avenue.

The ceremony begins at 8:30 a.m. at Charlotte Jane Memorial Park Cemetery on Charles Avenue. The parade starts at 10 a.m. and runs from Elizabeth Street to Armbrister Park, according to Coconut Grove Spotlight's Nov. 5 event listing. The listing also advertises marching bands and food vendors.

The cemetery is named for Charlotte Jane Stirrup, the wife of E.W.F. Stirrup, according to the Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove community website.

A November 2025 Coconut Grove Spotlight report published by WLRN identifies E.W.F. Stirrup as a real estate developer and one of the Grove's original Bahamian settlers. The report says the Stirrup family and four other families purchased an adjoining cemetery property in 1913 for $140.

The parade has drawn community groups in previous years. Spotlight's coverage of the 2024 event described an honor guard, marching bands, dance groups and Junkanoo performers. The Nov. 5 listing does not identify the bands or groups taking part in this year's parade.
