List of Veterans Day Events Throughout the Hudson Valley in 2025

Many Veterans Day events are planned throughout the Hudson Valley for 2025.

If you find yourself hearing the sound of bagpipes, the crack of a rifle salute, or the flutter of flags this Veterans Day, that’s because the Hudson Valley will be filled with ceremonies honoring those who served our country.

Dutchess County Executive Sue Serino and Veterans Affairs Director Adam Roche are inviting everyone to take a moment to thank local veterans by attending one of many community ceremonies planned for Tuesday, November 11. The county’s main event will take place at 11 a.m. at the Dutchess County War Memorial, located at Raymond Avenue and Main Street in Poughkeepsie.

Serino says it’s about more than just one morning of speeches and flags. “On Veterans Day we honor and recognize the courageous, selfless individuals who have served our great nation,” she said. “We are so grateful to our Dutchess County veterans and are proud to help ensure they have access to the services and programs that they need.”

The county’s ceremony will feature remarks by Veterans Historian Craig Marshall, a wreath presentation, and a color guard from Poughkeepsie High School’s JROTC.
