On May 31, our Virginia Beach community comes together to remember the 12 lives lost in the tragic events at the Municipal Center in 2019. We honor their memories, support the survivors and families, and recognize the strength and resilience that continues to unite our city. 💙
As restaurants and hospitality businesses, we know the importance of community, compassion, and coming together during difficult times. We encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect, remember, and show support.
On Sunday, May 31, 2026:
💙 Wear blue, the color of remembrance
💙 Attend the 5/31 Remembrance Ceremony & Memorial Unveiling at 4:00 p.m. at the Memorial Site near Building 30 at the Municipal Center
💙 Pause for a Moment of Silence at 4:06 p.m., the time the first 911 call was received
Virginia Beach will never forget.
