Civic Events

Patriotism is very important and the City of North Miami takes the memory of this country’s heroes very seriously. Each Memorial and Veterans Day there is a ceremony to honor our fallen heroes’ memories and to teach the youth of today the important of freedom, patriotism and America.

  • Memorial & Veterans Day Ceremonies
    Each ceremony is held on the legally observed date and held at the Griffing Park at 12220 Griffing Blvd. These events are free to the public and a great lesson in history for today’s youth. A formal program and presentation of colors is done, shots are fired by the North Miami Police Honor Guard and a beautiful patriotic medley is sung. The ceremony begins promptly at 10:00 AM.
