August Hill Winery

Veterans' Parade & Air Show
2025-11-02 | Downtown Utica, North Utica, IL, 61373, United States
Utica’s Mill Street will come alive on Sunday, November 2, for the Veterans’ Parade & Air Show — one of the largest celebrations of its kind in Illinois! The parade goes right past the August Hill Winery Tasting Room, so you can catch all the action, from marching units and military vehicles to a spectacular flyover, right from our sidewalk! The event begins at 1 pm and features TBM Torpedo Bombers, T-6 Marine Trainers, and more.
After the parade, head inside the August Hill Winery Tasting Room to relax, sip, and enjoy the day. It’s the perfect spot to gather with friends, enjoy your favorite wines, and continue the celebration.
As we honor all who have served, we want to say thank you to our Veterans for their courage, dedication, and sacrifice. To show our appreciation, Veterans receive complimentary tastings, 10% off to-go bottle purchases, and 20% off case purchases all week long.
Join us in downtown Utica for a day of remembrance and community, and raise a glass in gratitude to those who served.
