Join us for the 11th Annual Memorial Day Community Celebration on Monday, May 25, at the Rockingham County Fairgrounds from 11 AM to 7 PM. The annual celebration is a meaningful time to gather in gratitude, remembrance, and unity.

The entire day is dedicated to honoring the brave men and women who have given their lives in service to our country. Together as a community, we will reflect on their sacrifice while celebrating the freedoms we share. This celebration will have something for the entire family. A classic car show featuring an assortment of the most pristine and well-kept marvels of the automotive industry will be on site from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Throughout the day, we will feature sensational music by local bands and crafts by local artisans available for purchase. Or come by for free pony rides, carnival-style games, various areas with age-appropriate inflatables for small children through teenagers, a mechanical bull, a climbing wall, face-painting, laser tag, mini golf, yard games, and other activities for all ages. Local non-profits will be on-site and would love to connect with you and your friends and loved ones to share how you could receive assistance or help serve others. You can directly participate in serving the community by bringing non-perishable food items to donate to the Hope Distributed community food donation truck. All veterans and first responders in attendance will be honored in a moving tribute ceremony at 2:00 p.m. It will be a fun day that your family will long remember.

Whether you’ve joined us in years past or this will be your first time attending, you are sincerely welcome. Bring a lawn chair, invite a neighbor, and come ready to experience a day of reflection, community, and togetherness.
