The cost of a military parade varies based on the scale, location, logistics, and security needs, and includes post-parade work, such as clean-up and repair of roads. The National Victory Celebration held on June 18, 1991, to celebrate the end of the Persian Gulf War cost $12 million. Pres. Donald Trump’s June 14, 2025, parade to commemorate the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday is expected to cost between $25 and $45 million. Military parades are paid out of the Department of Defense’s budget, which is taxpayer funded.
