U.S. Naval Academy Events
Get on the Yard
Join in the excitement of watching 4,400+ midshipmen in formal uniform marching to “Anchors Aweigh,” or hundreds of Plebes working together to get to the top of the Herndon Monument. Feel the spirit of the centuries-old rivalry with Army and the countless other sporting spectacles that occur throughout the year. Be moved by the myriad musical and drama performances, as well as some of the crowning events of midshipmen life — the proud end of Plebe Summer and the celebrations of Commissioning Week. No matter when you visit the Yard, there is something special to see!

2/C Parents' Weekend
9/5/2025/-9/7/2025
Parents’ Weekend offers an exceptional opportunity for parents to visit with their midshipman in the historic surroundings of the Academy and the town of Annapolis. Parents are able to expand their knowledge of the traditions, academic life, and unique atmosphere of the Naval Academy.
The schedule of events planned during 2nd Class Parents' Weekend provide an experience that we hope is both enjoyable and informative. The schedule also provides details for the shuttles that will run from the stadium to the Yard on Friday.
The weekend will conclude with worship services on Sunday in the United States Naval Academy Chapel and other available locations of worship.
