The Town of Davie is preparing to honor its heroes with the annual Veterans Day Ceremony set for next Monday. The free event, as announced by the Town of Davie website, will take place from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Veterans Park, located at 5750 SW 39th Street. Attendees will have the opportunity to pay their respects to the men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, with guest speakers and honor guard presentations slated to be part of the proceedings.
Among the planned activities is the playing of each armed forces' medley, designed to specifically recognize the veterans in attendance. Following the ceremony, the town is offering a light lunch, reflecting a tradition of community and respect for service. In urging people of all ages to come join the event, officials in Davie expect to not just celebrate military service, but to also build upon the bonds of community that such service has helped to protect. Davie-fl.gov notes that "Individuals of all ages are invited to attend this special event to thank our veterans for their sacrifice and service to our country."
To accommodate those who wish to partake in the Veterans Day honors, parking arrangements have been made. Limited parking will be available at Veterans Park, with additional parking at the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds, 4201 Rodeo Way. Shuttle buses have been arranged to transport attendees to and from the ceremony. Details on these logistics can be found by visiting the Town of Davie's official site or by reaching out to the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Arts Department at 954-797-1181.
The observance will also bring about town closures, as municipal offices will be shuttered for the day next Monday. Operations are set to resume their regular schedule the following morning. While the Pine Island Multipurpose Center will close, various other parks and facilities will maintain modified hours, allowing community members to still access green spaces and recreational amenities amidst this day of reflection. "All Town parks, playgrounds and restrooms will be open from 9 a.m. to sunset," a statement from davie-fl.gov indicates, while also listing the specific closure times for certain parks and centers.
Residents can rest assured that essential services such as garbage and bulk collection will continue on schedule. Questions regarding waste services can be directed to the town via email or through contacts provided by Coastal Waste & Recycling.
