Step aboard the USS Midway Museum, a marvel of American naval history on July 2nd. As one of the longest-serving aircraft carriers in the U.S. Navy, the Midway offers an immersive experience with over 60 exhibits and 29 restored aircraft. Discover what life was like for the thousands of sailors who lived and worked on this floating city. The USS Midway is more than just a museum; it’s a tribute to the bravery and dedication of the U.S. military.

Recommended Attire: The USS Midway is an enormous and impressive vessel. This will be a festive evening celebrating and honoring our military, so dress casually but keep in mind that it may be breezy on the flight deck as this ship is docked on the bay. Please wear sensible shoes – tennis shoes or sturdy walking shoes (no sandals and no heels). Feel free to wear your personal military regalia as we thank you for your service to our country!
