Communities across Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties will pause on Memorial Day 2026 to honor the men and women who died in military service. However, specific ceremony times, locations, and organizers for this year's observances have not yet been confirmed.

Residents planning to attend Memorial Day events on the Treasure Coast should expect ceremonies at several anchor venues, including Veterans Memorial Park in Port St. Lucie and local VFW and American Legion posts in Stuart, Fort Pierce, and Vero Beach.

Indian River County typically holds a ceremony at the Veterans Memorial Island Sanctuary in Vero Beach, a dedicated 2.3-acre island in the Indian River Lagoon that draws hundreds of residents and Gold Star families. In Martin County, the Veterans Memorial Park on SE Monterey Road in Stuart has served as the county's primary gathering point for the holiday.

Because ceremony schedules, speakers, and start times for Memorial Day 2026 had not been publicly posted at the time of publication, TC Sentinel will update this article as confirmed details become available.

Residents seeking information should contact their county Veterans Services offices directly: Martin County Veterans Services at (772) 288-5720; St. Lucie County Veterans Services at (772) 462-1760; and Indian River County Veterans Services at (772) 226-1390. Local VFW and American Legion post websites and social media pages typically publish schedules two to three weeks before the holiday.
