Spend your 4th of July (10AM to 5PM) in the Bay’s best location for the day with music, food & drinks, tours, and more!

We will have 2 no-host bars, Food Truck Mafia with multiple food options, DJ Samoa Boy spinning tunes, the Swinging Blue Stars and much more to entertain you!

The ship’s superstructure will be open for free tours of the Captain’s Bridge. The rest of the Museum spaces on the ship are open so you can see all our iconic aircraft (including our F-14 Tomcat just like those in Top Gun), Apollo artifacts and Space Race History, and all the ship’s areas and exhibits below decks where sailors worked and lived from World War II to the ship’s decommissioning in 1970. This includes the Sickbay, Torpedo Workshop, Marine Corps Living Spaces, a Pilot Ready Room, special exhibits, and so much more! There is something for everyone.

Special guest Benjamin Hemphill, Korean War pilot, will be on hand at around 1 pm to sign pictures and talk about his experiences as a Skyraider pilot on the USS Antietam.

Plenty of free parking is available adjacent to the ship’s pier!

We also will be closing early enough that you will have time to go to your favorite spot to watch the fireworks. Note: There will be NO Fireworks at the USS Hornet.

Members get free admission! You can email membership@uss-hornet.org for your special code if you are ordering tickets online.
