Memorial Day Ceremony in Roswell, Georgia

Name: Tempest Interactive Media
Price range: $

Memorial Day is a great time to stop and remember all of the men and women who gave their all in our Armed Forces to ensure that American continues to have the freedoms and liberties that we often take for granted.

Roswell, Georgia hosts the largest Memorial Day Ceremony in Georgia on the grounds of City Hall. The grassy lawn between City Hall and the Faces of War Memorial is a fitting location for the ceremony. It’s hard not to shed a tear or two when veterans who are normally bent with age, stand at attention proudly saluting as the service hymn for their branch of the service is played.

From its beginnings in 1997, this ceremony has grown to over 7,000 people from all over Georgia and the southeast in attendance, each year.

Attendees will want to arrive early to get a seat, but you are also welcome to bring your own chair to put up in the back. Note that although Roswell is dog-friendly, this is an event where dogs are not allowed.
