South Florida veterans have a new way to mark Veterans Day this year: taking part in hands-on agricultural training. The City of Miami announced GeoAg Veterans 100, a Veterans Day event featuring free agricultural training, giveaways and resources, set for Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
The announcement came Monday via a post from the City of Miami
, which described the event as featuring “hands-on agricultural learning, GeoAg training, giveaways, and resources to help veterans grow new skills and connect with opportunities.” The city's post frames the event squarely around South Florida veterans, inviting them to build new skills while connecting with local opportunities.
GeoAg training is among the activities planned for the event, which runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
What Veterans Can Expect to Take Home
Beyond the training itself, the event is designed to send veterans home with something tangible. Attendees can take home plants, and the event also includes giveaways and resources aimed at helping veterans grow skills and connect with opportunities. Virtual follow-up support is also planned after November 11.
The event is tied to the Ward Rooming House in Miami.
The event is listed at 294 NW 9th Street. Veterans planning to attend should verify the location directly with event organizers before heading out.
Part of a Broader Wave of Veterans Day Events
GeoAg Veterans 100 is just one entry on a packed regional calendar. Communities across South Florida are preparing parades, ceremonies and special events to honor service members for Veterans Day on Wednesday, Nov. 11, according to CBS Miami.
Coral Gables is set to host its inaugural Salute to Veterans at Giralda Plaza from 9 to 11 a.m. that same morning, per the outlet's report. Homestead is planning a daylong celebration featuring a ceremony, parade, community picnic and concert, while Miami Beach is organizing a parade that will travel along Ocean Drive from Fifth Street to 15th Street.
For now, the key details for South Florida veterans are straightforward: a day of hands-on agricultural training, lunch, take-home plants and virtual support at 294 NW 9th Street in Miami. Those interested in attending should confirm registration details directly through the city's announcement before Veterans Day arrives.
