On June 10th, 2026, East Strawberry Alley between Walnut Street and Race Street will be closed for tree removal work. The work will be occurring between 7AM and 4PM.

Please use caution and be aware of road closures and no parking areas. Thank you for your patience!

Next week there will be cannon fire on the installation over the course of several days.

A retirement ceremony is occurring, and an artillery unit will be firing ceremonial rounds (blanks) outside of the special events forum near the East Gate where the ceremony will take place.

There are two practice days: Monday 6/8 and Wednesday 6/10 at 2pm. The ceremony is Thursday 6/11, and between 9am and 10am you can expect to hear 11 volleys of fire.

If you hear a series of loud blasts during these times, there is no cause for concern. The cannon fire is a planned part of the ceremony.
