Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and current mass gathering restrictions by the State Stay At Home Order, the City of Dublin has canceled the annual Memorial Day procession, ceremony and community picnic scheduled for May 25, 2020.
According to Community Events Director Alison LeRoy Dublin will still honor and recognize Memorial Day in close partnership with the Wesley G. Davids Dublin Post 800 of the American Legion. A virtual ceremony video will be posted to the City’s website, social media channels, including the City’s YouTube channel, on May 25th to honor veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Please monitor the City’s website for further information.
During this time of social distancing, the City also encourages community members to pay special tribute to the holiday by:
- Calling a veteran
- Visiting a cemetery and decorating veterans’ gravesites with flags and flowers
- Raising your American flag (half-staff from sunrise until noon on May 25)
- Honoring the National Moment of Remembrance. Pause for a moment of silence at 3:00 p.m. on May 25.
- Sharing a photo of your beloved fallen soldier/airman/etc. on social media
The City will continue to monitor the guidelines and State Orders regarding mass gatherings. We plan to make a decision on Independence Day celebrations by May 15, and the annual Dublin Irish Festival by June 1.
