The Town of Fenwick Island warmly invites you to join us for our Memorial Day Ceremony on Friday, May 22, 2026, at 5:30 PM at St. Matthews by the Sea Methodist Church located at 1000 Coastal Hwy. Fenwick Island, DE.
This meaningful and patriotic evening brings our community together to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
This year, we are proud to welcome the Delmarva Leathernecks Foundation as our featured speakers. Several of their veteran members will share reflections and help us pay tribute to those who served with courage and honor.
Adding to the spirit of the evening, the chorus from Phillip C. Showell Elementary School will perform several patriotic songs, reminding us of the pride and gratitude we carry forward for future generations. The ceremony will also include a moving trumpet solo of “Taps,” a timeless tribute that honors the fallen with dignity and respect.
We encourage residents, families, and visitors to attend this special community gathering. Bring a chair, bring a friend, and join us as we come together in remembrance, reflection, gratitude and community.
