Coastside Memorial Day remembrance in Seaside Oregon
Honor Memorial Day in Seaside with a community ceremony hosted by American Legion Post 99, a meaningful stop before beach walks and coastal exploring.
Event details
The Seaside Memorial Day Ceremony offers a focused hour of reflection on the Oregon coast, setting a respectful tone before you move on to the beach and holiday plans. Held at American Legion Post 99 near the Necanicum River, it brings locals and visitors together for a traditional tribute to those who served. You can attend on your own, as a couple, or with family; the setting is calm, formal, and welcoming.
You can expect patriotic music, a color guard presentation, and remarks from guest speakers representing the veteran community. The program is led by members of American Legion Post 99 and often closes with a wreath-laying or a moment of silence. If weather turns, the ceremony may shift indoors to the Post hall, but it is held rain or shine.
Plan to arrive at least 20 minutes before the 11:00 AM start to secure nearby street parking and get a seat where you can hear clearly. Dress in layers since coastal wind can keep temperatures cool, and bring a small umbrella or waterproof jacket for light mist. If you bring a pet, keep them leashed and comfortable in quiet crowds.
Because the Post sits close to the Broadway corridor, you can transition easily to a walk along the Promenade or the riverfront afterward. For the simplest logistics, stay in central Seaside near Broadway St or the Promenade so you can walk and skip holiday traffic. If you prefer a lower-key base, consider lodging toward the south end of town, or browse regional vacation rentals through Lake.com.
