The ceremony begins at 10 a.m. on the Sunday of this holiday weekend, taking place in the park's amphitheater space. It features traditional military elements and guest remarks related to the true meaning of Memorial Day.

Gold Star Families will read names for the "Garden of Gold" flags that feature the name/photo/service branch of fallen military members. A brief period of refreshments and community typically follows the ceremony - everything is free and open to all ages and residents.
