The city’s veterans events page says Dunwoody Parks and Recreation holds a Veterans Day ceremony each Nov. 11 to give special recognition to everyone who has served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Dunwoody is home to the Veterans Memorial at Brook Run Park and a Vietnam War Memorial, the page says.

What is confirmed for 2026: 10 to 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11, at Brook Run Park, 4770 N. Peachtree Road, on the city’s calendar. All are welcome. City Hall is closed for the holiday.

Not yet posted: the speaker and the program. The listing’s description still repeats the 2025 memorial dedication text, so we have not used it for this year.
