Gettysburg Remembrance Day Illumination 2025
November 15 @ 5:30 pm - 9:30 pm
On Saturday, Nov. 15, from 5:30 until 9:30 p.m., the Gettysburg Foundation hosts the annual Remembrance Day Illumination in Gettysburg National Cemetery. This time-honored tradition commemorates President Abraham Lincoln’s dedication of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery on Nov. 19, 1863, and honors the 3,512 Civil War soldiers interred there.
With the support of Gettysburg Foundation donors and volunteers, each grave is lit with a luminary candle, and the names of the fallen soldiers are read aloud in remembrance of their sacrifice at Gettysburg.
Guests may enter the cemetery through the gate at Taneytown Road or the gate at Baltimore Street.
