Free ceremony with Chinook flyover, awards set for Nov. 11

The Pacific Park Ferris wheel will light up Tuesday night with a 90-foot animated American flag and the seals of the five U.S. armed services to mark Veterans Day.

The solar-powered ride’s 174,000 LED lights will cycle through red, white and blue patterns from sunset around 4:53 p.m. until midnight, visible along the coast.

A free public ceremony begins at 11 a.m. on the pier’s west parking deck, co-hosted by the city and the U.S. Army. 

Pacific Park will provide free ride tickets to veterans and active-duty members.
