On National Wreaths Across America Day, Saturday, December 19, 2026, volunteers gather at Sarasota National Cemetery to remember and honor veterans by placing remembrance wreaths on their graves. The ceremony begins at 12 p.m., with wreath placement immediately following.
The cemetery, at 9810 State Road 72 in Sarasota, has a coverage goal of 25,500 wreaths. Local sponsorship groups including Southwest Florida Honor Flight and Sarasota Military Academy support the effort.
In past years this location has required carpooling and advance parking passes, so check the Sarasota National Cemetery page on wreathsacrossamerica.org for current volunteer and parking instructions before you go. Wreaths can be sponsored on the same page.
