Navy 250th Celebration + Yorktown Veterans Meet & Greet

Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum will commemorate the U.S. Navy’s 250th anniversary with a special day of celebration aboard the historic aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-10). In honor of the occasion, Patriots Point is offering $3 off all general admission tickets purchased in person on October 11. At 12:00 p.m., a ceremonial cake cutting will take place in Hangar Bay 1 on the USS Yorktown, marking both the Navy’s 250th birthday and the enduring legacy of Yorktown sailors. Following the ceremony, at 1:00 p.m., Mark C. Fava—author of Lessons from the Admiral: Naval Wisdom and Sea Stories for Leaders—will deliver a speech and host a book signing in the Smokey Stover Theater. Also, join us aboard the USS Yorktown from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a special meet and greet with veterans of the ship. Hear first-hand stories of service, ask questions, and connect with the men and women who lived this history.
