Veterans Day is this Wednesday, and one of the most meaningful places to mark it is right here in town. The Utah Department of Veterans and Military Affairs lists a Veterans Day program at the Southern Utah Veterans Home in Ivins among its free community events for 2026.
The details
- When: Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026, at 11 a.m.
- Where: Southern Utah Veterans Home, 160 North 200 East, Ivins
- Cost: Listed by the state among its free community events
The home is a care community, so if you plan to attend, it’s a kind idea to call ahead at 435-634-5220 to ask about parking and seating.
About the Southern Utah Veterans Home
The state describes the home as a facility “conveniently located under the Big Red Majestic Mountain of Ivins City,” built to provide long-term care for veterans. According to the department, it has nine separate communities, each with a kitchen, dining room, living room and 12 private, furnished rooms, designed to feel like home.

Why it matters for Ivins
Having a home for veterans at the foot of the red mountain means our neighbors include people who served, and the families who stood beside them. Showing up for them on Veterans Day is one of the quiet traditions that makes living in Ivins special.
