Join local veterans and the Mayor of Danville at 4:40 pm by the Flagpole in front of the Veterans Memorial Building in Danville as they press the button at 5:00 pm to light the Beacon atop Mount Diablo.

A proclamation was signed on February 25, 2022, in the Veterans Memorial Building in Danville to light the Beacon on Mount Diablo not only on Pearl Harbor Day, but also on Memorial Day and Veterans Day.

Special thanks to California State Parks, Save Mount Diablo and the Town of Danville for all of their amazing support to honor veterans!
