Homecoming 250 is proud to announce the upcoming celebration of the Navy and Marine Corps’ 250th anniversaries in the fall of 2025. The event will serve as the grand opening of the semiquincentennial and the largest event honoring the military and Veterans. It will be the largest celebration in the nation’s birthplace leading up to America’s 250th anniversary in 2026.
The celebrations will occur in Philadelphia, Camden, and along the Delaware River in October and November 2025. The momentous events will honor the Navy, established on October 13, 1775, and the Marine Corps, founded shortly thereafter on November 10, 1775. Both branches were born in Philadelphia, where they launched their inaugural missions on the historic Delaware River, setting the stage for their enduring legacy.
