Featured Veterans Weekend at Dumont Dunes

Before Thanksgiving gets here, there’s another weekend worth putting on your dune calendar! Veterans Day falls on Wednesday, November 11 this year, but Friends of Dumont Dunes’ annual Veterans Day Flag Run is scheduled for Saturday, November 14. Make a weekend of it November 13–15, enjoy some dune runs, and take a little time to honor those who have served.

A More Laid-Back Weekend

Veterans Weekend typically has more of an off-weekend feel at Dumont. Think smaller crowds, room to spread out at camp, and evenings around the fire with friends. If you enjoy a quieter trip between the big Halloween and Thanksgiving weekends, this is a good one to keep in mind.

Friends of Dumont Dunes Flag Run

Bring your American flags and show your support for our veterans!

The flag run traditionally gathers at Vendor Row before heading to Veterans Hill, near the swingset, for a flag-raising ceremony.

Date: Saturday, November 14, 2026
Meeting time: To be announced!

Watch for the final meeting time and any updated ride details from Friends of Dumont Dunes as the weekend gets closer.

No Holiday Pass Required

Although we call it Veterans Weekend, November 13–15 is not a designated holiday pass period at Dumont. A regular $30 non-holiday weekly pass or a valid Dumont season pass covers the weekend. An entrance pass is still required.

Pack your flags, bring some firewood, and enjoy a relaxed weekend in the sand. To all our veterans, thank you for your service!
