Corps of Cadets Parade

Watch from the stands as more than 2,300 members of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets march in formation onto Summerall Field in the heart of The Citadel's iconic campus, located on the banks of the Ashley River in downtown Charleston.
Parades typically include performances by The Regimental Band and Pipes, the firing of cannons, Pass in Review, and occasionally are used to present awards and recognize students, faculty, staff, and other notable figures.
Parades are family-friendly, free to attend, and open to the public.
PARKING: Visitors should plan to arrive 30-45 minutes prior to the start of the parade. Cadets will welcome visitors to campus, direct them toward parking, and assist in finding a seat in the viewing area.
DISCLAIMER: Parade times are subject to change due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances. Combat veterans and other individuals who are distressed by loud noises are advised that parades often include the firing of cannons.
