Veterans Day in Needham: Wednesday, November 11

Needham will honor its veterans on Wednesday, November 11, with the town’s annual Veterans Day ceremony. It starts at 11 am at Memorial Park, 92 Rosemary Street, and it goes ahead rain or shine.

The Needham Exchange Club will have free coffee and donuts at the park, and everyone is welcome. Right after the ceremony, there is a community collation at Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2498, 20 Junction Street.

Veterans Day is a town holiday, so plan ahead. All non-emergency town offices and facilities are closed on November 11, including the Recycling and Transfer Station. If you have errands at Town Hall or the transfer station, do them before or after.

If you can, come to Memorial Park, say thank you to the veterans in your neighborhood, and stay for coffee. Neighboring Wellesley holds its own ceremony the same morning at 11 am at the War Memorial at Town Hall.
