You're Invited: Army & Navy Academy’s Veterans Day Celebration

The Army & Navy Academy, in partnership with the Rotary Clubs of Carlsbad, invites the community to the 17th Annual Veterans Day Ceremony on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, from 10:45 AM to 12:00 PM at the Army and Navy Academy's Bliss Stadium (2600 Carlsbad Boulevard). The event honors all who have served in the United States military.

The ceremony will feature a guest speaker, a military review by the Army and Navy Academy Corps of Cadets, a flyover by the Salute Formation Flying Team, a wreath presentation, and TAPS. This long-standing tradition offers a moving tribute to the courage and dedication of our nation’s veterans and their families.

Following the ceremony, guests are invited to attend the Veterans Art Exhibition and Reception in Duffield Gym. Presented in collaboration with the North Coastal Art Gallery, the exhibition will showcase original works created by U.S. veterans and service family members. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet the artists, hear their stories, and enjoy light refreshments while viewing their art. A Best of Show piece will be selected prior to the event and displayed at the North Coastal Art Gallery from November 7 to 10 before being featured at the Academy.

Parking for the event will be available at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church, located at 2775 Carlsbad Boulevard.

This special Veterans Day celebration invites the Carlsbad community to come together in gratitude, remembrance, and artistic expression to honor those who have served our country.
