No Excuse Night
August 9th @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT
Free
No Excuse Night is held annually during the national Spirit of ’45 weekend to commemorate the end of World War II.
Never been to the Memorial? Haven’t been in a while? There’s no excuse not to visit during this free, extended-hours event!
Docents will be stationed throughout the Memorial to share information with guests. The Let’s Dance Band will perform timeless, big band sounds.
Early event guests will have an opportunity to help save lives and support the Memorial by giving blood at an on-site bloodmobile. The Blood Connection, the non-profit blood provider locally for Carilion Clinic, will donate $10 for each blood donation collected to the Memorial. As a thank you, each donor receives an E-gift card. The minimum age to donate blood is 16 with parental consent. Bloodmobile hours are 2-6PM.
No tickets or registration required. Rain or shine. Memorial site will be cleared in the event of a thunderstorm.
