Hundreds of veterans, active service members, families of the lost, and dignitaries came to Mustin Field at the Navy Yard for the opening ceremony of Homecoming 250, a commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the United States Navy and Marine Corps, both founded in Philadelphia in 1775.
The weeklong festivities, which began with Thursday’s grand parade, include tours of historic ships anchored along the Philly and Camden waterfronts, balls, parades, family events, concerts, wreath layings, and — this being Philadelphia — a Rocky Steps run for Marines and Sailors. Scores of military brass and as many as 300,000 people are expected to attend Homecoming 250, which are seen by many as the start of the nation’s celebrations of America’s 250th anniversary in 2026, also known as the Semquincentennial.
