Normandy forever keeps the traces of this war and, each year, remembers and pays tribute to American, British, Canadian, Belgian, Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Australian, French veterans and their brothers in arms, to these heroes who, many, lost their lives here throughout the summer of 1944.

In 2024, Normandy will commemorate and celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Landings and the Battle of Normandy.

Every year around June 6, this anniversary which is so important to commemorate, gives rise to numerous events. If the major international ceremonies take place every 5 years, festivities and celebrations take place every year

The international ceremony on June 6, 2024 will take place in Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer in Calvados, in the American sector, near Omaha Beach where 2,500 American soldiers lost their lives. This ceremony will be an opportunity to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Landings and the Battle of Normandy in the presence of numerous heads of state and representatives of the belligerent nations.
