From November 9–13, 2026, Jewett Park will be transformed into a breathtaking panorama of 500 United States flags in a powerful display of patriotism and remembrance. Each flag represents an individual hero and tells a unique story, creating a moving tribute that brings our community together in gratitude and reflection.

Presented by the Village of Deerfield, IL, the 2026 Field of Honor® display carries the theme “Honoring Our Veterans.” This solemn formation of Stars and Stripes stands as a symbol of American resilience, unity, and hope for a brighter tomorrow. Throughout our nation’s history, Americans have faced challenges with courage and determination. The flag serves as a reminder of our shared strength and enduring spirit.

Community members are invited to sponsor a flag in honor of a veteran or personal hero, offering a meaningful way to recognize those who have served and sacrificed. This inspiring display is made possible through the generosity of donors, sponsors, and dedicated volunteers.

The Field of Honor® is open to the public and free of charge. Visitors are encouraged to walk among the flags and experience this unforgettable tribute firsthand. Proceeds from the event will benefit Midwest Veterans Closet and Lake County Honor Flight.

Join us for this powerful and memorable community experience.
