Day of Remembrance at Yakima Valley Museum takes place on February 19, 2027. The event is free and open to the public, with advance registration requested.

The Japanese Day of Remembrance commemorates the signing of Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942. The order enabled the US Army to incarcerate more than 120,000 Japanese American men, women, and children during World War II. The program offers an opportunity to learn about the history of the Japanese American community in the Yakima Valley and hear personal stories from community members.
