Memorial Day Observance

A brief and informal Memorial Day observance to pay tribute to the soldiers who served at Fort Mackinac. Soldiers will assemble at 8:30 a.m. at the Fort Mackinac Avenue of Flags, march to the Post Cemetery, perform a short ceremony and salute, and return to the fort. A historic interpreter will lay a wreath at the grave of one of the fallen soldiers during the ceremony, and Mackinac State Historic Parks Director Steve Brisson will say a few remarks at the cemetery as well. This is a free event.
