Veterans Day Observations 2025
Stuff We Love
Nov. 8, 2025
Veterans Day is Tuesday, Nov. 11, and Northwestern Michigan College will be marking the holiday with their 50th annual Mariners Memorial service at noon on Monday, Nov. 10. The event will be held in the courtyard of the Great Lakes Maritime Academy—715 E. Front Street, Traverse City, at the NMC Great Lakes Campus—and aims “to remember and honor mariners who have perished on the Great Lakes and oceans.” NMC will also host a Veterans Day ceremony on Nov. 11 from 9:30am-10:30am at the Tanis Building flagpoles. In Petoskey, Odawa Casino welcomes all veterans and active duty personnel to a free breakfast from 7-10am, plus specials at the casino. And in Cheboygan, the chamber of commerce is setting up a “Field of Flags” for Veterans Day and fundraising for the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) nonprofit. Be sure to check with your local Veterans Affairs or VFW for more events.
