On Port Chicago Remembrance Day, before the formal commemoration begins, we gather at the Port Chicago Monument overlooking the San Francisco Bay — adjacent to the historic site of the 1944 Port Chicago Mutiny Trial.

Hosted by Port Chicago Alliance in partnership with the Treasure Island Museum, this sunset gathering offers a quiet space for community, reflection, and remembrance in the landscape where history unfolded. Guests are invited to share conversation, enjoy light refreshments, and take in the sweeping waterfront setting as the evening settles into reflection.

There are no formal speeches or ceremonies here — only space to be together, to listen, and to prepare for the meaning of the day ahead.
