Sackets Harbor Central School District and the Sackets Harbor American Legion will hold their annual Veterans Day ceremony Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026, at 8:15 a.m. in the Huttemann Gymnasium at 215 South Broad Street in Sackets Harbor. The ceremony will use the theme “250 years of service” and will recognize November as National Military Family Recognition Month.
The program will include Sackets Harbor Central students, Fort Drum’s 41st Engineer Battalion, the 10th Mountain Division Band and the American Legion’s Harold W. Townsend Post 1757. Organizers said the event will include short presentations and performances. Students, parents, guardians, community members, veterans and active-duty service members are invited.
The ceremony is part of an annual Veterans Day tradition in Sackets Harbor. A 2023 account described the observance as a 16-year tradition started by the American Legion Auxiliary. That year’s program included remarks to students, a color guard and a flag-raising.
The 41st Engineer Battalion and the village have also maintained a longstanding partnership that includes Veterans Day observances. The battalion is stationed at Fort Drum, connecting the Sackets Harbor event with the broader military community in Jefferson County and the North Country.
The school district’s homepage lists the school at 215 S. Broad St. and provides additional district information at Sackets Harbor Central School. The district also lists a special Board of Education meeting for 5 p.m. Nov. 10 and a Nov. 17 presentation titled “Facing Today’s Realities: Ensuring Tomorrow’s Opportunities.”
A separate Veterans Day breakfast is scheduled for Nov. 10 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Watertown. Doors are scheduled to open at 7:30 a.m., with the presentation at 8 a.m. Retired Brig. Gen. Brett E. Funck is listed as the special guest. The breakfast is free for veterans and costs $25 for non-veterans, with advance registration encouraged.
Veterans Day will be observed as a federal holiday Nov. 11. The Sackets Harbor ceremony’s details and district information are available through the school district website. The Sackets Harbor American Legion lists its contact location as 209 Ambrose St. and its phone number as 315-646-3530.
