Augusta Celebrates Veterans with Ceremonies Across the City
11 Nov
Summary
- Veterans Day ceremonies held across Augusta area on November 11, 2025
- Augusta University and USC Aiken open, while some offices closed
- Difference between Veterans Day and Memorial Day explained
On November 11, 2025, the Augusta area will host a series of celebrations and ceremonies to honor veterans. Several events are planned across the city to thank and recognize all those who have served in the military.
Veterans Day is officially observed each year on November 11, as per the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. This day is set aside to celebrate and appreciate the contributions of living service members, in contrast with Memorial Day, which honors those who died while serving their country.
While some offices in the Augusta region will be closed for the holiday, Augusta University, USC Aiken, and public schools in Richmond, Columbia, and Aiken counties will remain open. This reflects the dual nature of the day, as it is both a time to commemorate the sacrifices of the past and to express gratitude to those who continue to serve.
