Burbank Veterans Day Ceremony at McCambridge Park

Burbank marks Veterans Day with an annual observance at McCambridge Park, and this year it falls on Wednesday, November 11. The city's listing describes it as a morning of song, words, remembrance and celebration in honor of the people who served. It is free, outdoors and open to anyone, which makes it one of the more meaningful upcoming events Los Angeles residents can attend on the holiday.

When: Wednesday, November 11, 2026, 11:00 AM Where: McCambridge Park, 1515 N. Glenoaks Blvd., Burbank Price: Free Age: Listed as 6 and up

What to expect

The ceremony itself starts at 11 AM. Before it, the Burbank Community Band plays a pre-ceremony concert beginning at 10:15 AM, so arriving a little early lets you catch the music and find a spot on the lawn. Those two set times are the only ones the listing gives, and no program beyond them has been published. If you want the full order of events, call the number on the source listing, 818.238.5300.

The park also holds a war memorial, and the observance is built around it. Expect a quiet, community-scale gathering rather than a large production: music, speakers and time set aside to remember.

Who it suits

The listing suggests ages 6 and up, so older kids who are curious about the holiday are welcome. Teachers and parents often look for a simple, free way to explain what Veterans Day is about, and a local ceremony with a band and a memorial is a gentle way to do that. Veterans, military families and neighbors with no personal connection are all part of the crowd. If you are sorting through things happening in Los Angeles on the holiday, this one is worth a spot on the list.

Getting there

McCambridge Park sits on North Glenoaks Boulevard in Burbank, and the listing gives the address as 1515 N. Glenoaks Blvd. It is outdoors, so dress for the weather and bring a layer for a morning start. Check the venue or the city before you go in case anything changes, since the source page is the only confirmation of the schedule.
