To honor someone, a form must be completed and returned to City Hall. Visit www.cliftonnnj.org, click on LINKS and then click on Avenue of Flags. All the needed information is on the site and the form can be downloaded as well.

Flags are displayed on Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Patriot Day(911) and Veterans Day. Please visit the site above for the set and take down times.

We always can use extra hands to put up and take down the over 1500 flags. If interested in volunteering, please email the recreation department at cliftonrec@cliftonnj.org or call John Biegel at 973 519-0858.

Come join us and we guarantee you will get an overwhelmingly good feeling for being a part of honoring those who served their country.
