Walnut Creek, CA — Plan to spend part of your Memorial Day in Walnut Creek for the City’s annual tribute to the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. The ceremony will begin at 11:00 a.m. with remarks from Mayor Kevin Wilk and will include a keynote address by retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Davis.
Patriotic music will be provided by the Walnut Creek Concert Band under the direction of Matt Sadowski, and the invocation and blessing will be offered by Rabbi Cantor Jennie Chabon. The Walnut Creek Police Department will serve as the Honor Guard.
The ceremony, which is free and open to the public, will be held in Civic Park at the corner of Civic Drive and North Broadway in downtown Walnut Creek.
The commemoration will conclude across the street from Civic Park at the Veterans Memorial outside City Hall, where Taps will be played and the flags lowered to half-staff.
North Broadway will be closed to traffic between Civic Drive and Lincoln Avenue during the ceremony. This annual event is sponsored by the City of Walnut Creek as a way to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
