Memorial Day Events in Sea Isle City

Boy Scout Troop 76 assisting at the Memorial Day Ceremony.

The City of Sea Isle invites the community to join Mayor Leonard Desiderio in honoring and remembering our nation’s heroes during the annual Memorial Day ceremony on May 25 at 10am at Veterans Park (JFK Boulevard and Landis Avenue). The mayor, along with local and county officials and veterans, will pay tribute to the fallen through remarks and prayers recognizing those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Wreaths will be placed at the Memorial Fountain in their memory, and VFW Post 1963 will conduct a Memorial Roll Call. During the ceremony, Mayor Desiderio will dedicate Sea Isle City’s Hometown Heroes Banners, which are a living tribute to honor past and present members of the Armed Forces. Sea Isle City will proudly display these banners on the decorative light poles along JFK Boulevard, Park Road and Landis Avenue for three years, from Memorial Day to Veterans Day. Following the ceremony, Boy Scout Troop 76 will lead attendees to the JFK Boulevard beach for a tribute to the nation’s naval fallen, where members of the Sea Isle City Beach Patrol will row floral arrangements beyond the breakers and set them adrift. In case of rain, the ceremony will be held at the Community Center, 4500 Central Ave. For more information, call 609-263-4461, Ext. 1245 or visitsicnj.com.
