The 2022 program will begin on Armed Forces Day, Saturday, May 21, 2021 and end on Labor Day, Monday, September 6, 2021 (please note: the program will end on September 5, 2021 at The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures because the museum is not open on Mondays). Armed Forces Day was established in 1949 for citizens to come together and thank military members for their patriotic service.
