Upcoming Events at the Museum

The President’s Own United States Marine Band performing outside the National Museum of the Marine Corps — tradition, pride, ceremony, and Marine heritage.

There is Always Something Happening at the Museum

From classic car shows and outdoor summer concerts to family-friendly movie nights, trivia, and special ceremonies, our events are designed to engage, educate, and inspire visitors of all ages.

The Marine Corps Heritage Foundation is proud to offer a wide variety of programming that celebrates Marine Corps history, fosters community connection, and brings the museum to life in new and exciting ways.

Whether you're here for a patriotic celebration, an evening under the stars, or just looking for something fun to do with friends and family — we invite you to explore our calendar and join us in honoring the legacy of America's Marines.
