Memorial Day Ceremony 2026
Wed 5/20/2026 • 11AM - 1PM PDT
Join us as we remember and honor those we have lost, ensuring their sacrifices are never forgotten.
Please attend the UCLA Memorial Day Ceremony as we pay tribute to courageous Bruins who gave their lives in U.S. military service in defense of our freedom. The ceremony will be held on Wednesday, May 20 from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM on the UCLA campus.
The program will feature a performance of the national anthem, the presentation of the colors by our color guard, and brief commemorative remarks. Following the ceremony, we invite you to stay for lunch and a time of shared reflection.
If you are Veteran or military-connected UCLA affiliated (Veteran, active duty, reservist, member of the National Guard, UCLA ROTC student, or family member of a service member or Veteran) and are interested in attending the UCLA Memorial Day Ceremony, please email eventrsvp@specialevents.ucla.edu for more information.
