A US Coast Guard Aids to Navigation team with a rescue craft will interact with all lighthouse visitors, there will be a flag raising ceremony at 11 AM, and a special presentation at 1 PM by Ponce Inlet Lighthouse Director of Operations Mike Bennett who will honor the history of the Coast Guard, its local base across the waters of the inlet, and the long relationship of the US Lighthouse Service and the Coast Guard.
