In observance of Memorial Day, the City of Irvine invites the community to participate in two meaningful ceremonies that honor and remember the lives of U.S. military service members who made the ultimate sacrifice –– the Northwood Memorial Candle Lighting Ceremony Sunday, May 25, and the Memorial Day Ceremony at Colonel Bill Barber Marine Corps Memorial Park Monday, May 26. 

These annual events provide an opportunity for residents to gather in reflection, pay tribute to fallen heroes, and express gratitude for the freedoms their service has preserved. 

The community is invited to celebrate National Public Works Week Thursday, May 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Great Park Hangar 244.

Meet staff in the City of Irvine's Public Works & Sustainability Department, learn about projects planned for Irvine, and get advice on pursuing a career in public works. See public works equipment up close, including dump trucks, street sweepers, tractors, traffic controls, and more.

Food and treats will be available for purchase. Visitors can also earn prizes and giveaways.
