The Council will be represented at War Memorials across the area by Provost Gillian Renwick and elected members.
Local churches and Community Councils have organised events in Auchinairn, Baldernock, Bishopbriggs, Kirkintilloch, Lennoxtown, Milngavie, Milton of Campsie, Torrance, Twechar and Woodilee.
A service organised by the Council will be held at the War Memorial at Bearsden Cross.
Provost Renwick said, "These events are always well attended in East Dunbartonshire and I hope that this year will be the same. Many groups have worked hard to arrange services for their local community and I’d like to thank them for their efforts.
“Please consider going along to support what is happening in your area to pay your respects and to remember the many sacrifices of our armed forces, past and present. Think about bringing younger people along so that we can keep the tradition alive. Lest we forget.”
