2801 N Jaycee Ln
Sioux Falls, SD 57104

🅿️ Parking Information:
Free parking is being donated by the Sioux Falls Regional Airport for anyone attending the Welcome Home Celebration but you must park in LONG TERM SURFACE parking and exit out the cash only booth to be let out. Please be sure to budget extra time for parking prior to and after the event has concluded.

🚫 Important Rules for Attendees:
To ensure the safety and comfort of everyone and in following regulations in the terminal, please note:

Do NOT try to claim a spot prior to 7 PM (respect the time and space of our volunteers as they cannot start setting up until after the last flight of the day departs)

No lawn chairs (we will provide chairs for those that need them – personal wheelchairs or scooters are OK)

No coolers (we will have bottled water available for a donation to Midwest Honor Flight)

No weapons (this is an active airport and all regulations in place by the FAA, TSA, and Sioux Falls Regional Airport Authority still apply)

Stay in your spot for ALL Veterans until they are dismissed and don’t cross the tape lines (each Veteran deserves to see the full parade)

Additionally, please REMAIN IN YOUR SPOT even after the last Veteran is through – your Veteran will come find you. It is MUCH easier for 84 Veterans to find their families vs 500 people trying to find 1 Veteran and crowd around the Joe Foss statue.
