Taps at Twilight 2026

The community is invited to come out the the annual St. Simons Rotary Taps at Twilight program on Memorial Day to honor not only the men and women who have fallen in the service of our country, but those who have valiantly served and returned, and those who serve today. This tradition, begun in 1991 and presented by the St. Simons Rotary will continue Monday, May 25, at Neptune Park. Patriotic music will be performed by The Golden Isles Community Band from the St. Simons Casino bandstand beginning at 5:45 p.m. The program will commence promptly at 6:45 p.m.

The program will begin with an invocation, and will include an honor guard presentation, presentation of the floral wreath accompanied by a bagpipe rendition of “Amazing Grace,” patriotic music including the National Anthem, anthems for each branch of service, and a Memorial Day address by guest speaker Colonel Aaron L.B. Cox of the US Army. The ceremony will conclude with the playing of “Taps.”

The event is free and open to the public; guests are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets as seating is not provided.
