Each year, Virginia Beach honors and pays tribute to all members of the U.S. armed forces during a formal ceremony for Memorial Day. The event takes place at the Tidewater Veterans Memorial on 19th Street, across from the Virginia Beach Convention Center. In the case of inclement weather, the event is held inside the Convention Center.
Hosted by the Virginia Beach Mayor and the Mayor’s Committee for Veterans, the ceremony honors those who "who gave their all," and features live music, reading of honored veteran names and remarks from distinguished guests. If held outdoors, it includes a 21-gun salute and flyovers.
It is free and open to the public, and usually is live-streamed on the City’s multimedia page and on the City’s Facebook page.
