The city will hold a ticker-tape parade next year to honor those who served in the wars after the 9/11 attacks, officials said Thursday.

The event will take place along the Canyon of Heroes on July 6, 2026, Mayor Eric Adams said in a release.

“The ‘Homecoming of Heroes’ parade is not merely a celebration — it is a historic moment in which a major city unites to solemnly honor the extraordinary service, sacrifice, and resilience of our post-9/11 combat veterans in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Adams said in a statement.

More than 2.9 million personnel served the U.S. during the “Global War on Terror” after Sept. 11, 2001, including 1.9 million service members who were deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, the release said.

The parade will also honor city and state employees whose work was “inextricably tied to the legacy of the post-9/11 generation,” according to the release.

In his own statement, Department of Veterans’ Services Commissioner James Hendon said the event will mark “a moment of national reflection and a promise kept.”

“For the post-9/11 generation of combat veterans and their families, this march down Broadway is a symbol of belonging, of closure, and of collective pride. We served through two decades of war,” he said. “Now, together, we write the next chapter — one of unity, recognition, and possibility.”
