Join us for the annual Independence Day Flag Raising Ceremony at Armed Services Park, where we honor and celebrate our servicemen and women. Participate in this patriotic gathering as we raise the Stars and Stripes high above Yuma.
Held annually at The Yuma Armed Services Park (281 S. Gila Street) in downtown Yuma, the Fourth of July Flag Raising ceremony honors the military in Yuma. The 7:30am ceremony features speakers from Yuma’s two military bases – Marine Corps Air Station and Yuma Proving Ground. Marines and soldiers at the bases are recognized during this ceremony.
The highlight of the morning is the raising of the Stars and Stripes at the park and from the mast of Yuma’s iconic water tower at Friendship Park.
