Veterans Day Celebration

Nov 11th

The Ormond Memorial Art Museum & Gardens will pay tribute to those who defend our freedom at their annual Veterans Day ceremony. The Ormond Memorial Art Museum & Gardens was founded in 1946 by Ormond Beach residents as a living monument to creative freedom and equality of all persons, and to commemorate the service of World War I and World War II veterans who fought valiantly for that ideal.

The 2025 Veterans Day Tribute will be formatted as a USO-style show incorporating music, dance, comedy, special guests, and more! The Halifax Repertory Theatre will help transport the audience back to the time of the Andrew Sisters with vintage glamour, a love for harmonies, and a little sass! Popular and patriotic tunes from the time will also be performed by the Daytona Beach Choral Society.
