SS United States Celebration and Festival

Please join us on Thursday, July 1 in Philadelphia for a grand celebration in honor of the 58th anniversary of the record-breaking maiden voyage of our national flagship! The event will take place in the IKEA complex across the street from the SS United States current pier. Plenty of music and refreshments will be on hand, and our special program will culminate in a recreation of artist Robert Wogans lighting of the ships funnels, bridge, and radar mast. Weather permitting, we will also have a special outdoor screening of SS United States: Lady in Waiting. It will be a very special evening, and we hope you can join us!
