About the event

FOVA Family Colour Parade

To celebrate and kick-off FOVA25, the FOVA Family Colour Parade celebrates the Veteran Community in a colour-filled parade around The Tan led by a marching band.


The friendly parade is an opportunity for all to join around The Tan. Wear colours that reflect your individuality, bringing a unique flair to the morning. A marching band will guide the procession, crafting a play on a traditional Marching of the Colours. While wandering through the gardens, you will encounter an abundance of art by veterans.
