Veterans Day Observance at Clifton Park and Evening Planning Session
Sea Cliff, NY · November 11, 2026
Flags are flying at half-staff along Sea Cliff Avenue this morning as neighbors prepare to gather for the annual ceremony at Clifton Park.
The Lead
Veterans, local officials, and neighbors will assemble at Clifton Park at 11:00 AM today for the village’s annual Veterans Day observance. Organized in partnership with James F. Brengel American Legion Post 456, the traditional gathering honors the service of local armed forces members across generations.
The ceremony marks an essential pause in the village calendar, bringing community leaders and residents together for moments of solemn reflection, prayer led by local clergy, and reflections on the historical contributions of service members throughout the North Shore. Following the presentation of colors and brief remarks from local leaders, neighbors typically linger in the park to reconnect. The event takes place rain or shine, and attendees are encouraged to arrive early to find parking along adjacent residential streets.
