We have all kinds of things planned:
- We will be having our Steel Beach BBQ with great BBQ food items available to purchase as well as drinks.
- The Swingin’ Blue Stars will be playing in the Hangar Bay starting at 1 PM. Listen to them sing all the great WWII era hits!
- The King Tide Players will start playing in the Hangar Bay at 2 PM. Listen to their fun and nostalgic Sea Chanteys! More info about the band below.
- The Island structure above the flight deck will be open for free tours. This is normally a paid tour but for free you can see the Admiral’s bridge, the Navigation Bridge, sit in the Captain’s Chair and more!
- We will be having a local 4th of July themed Arts and Crafts Fair on the pier next to the ship! Come see local artists and more!
- STACK UP will be here as well-they will demo what they do-which is gaming for Veterans.
- If you are a participant in the Alameda City 4th of July Parade and you want to come park your vehicle/float at the Hornet afterwards-please do and you can engage all the guests coming to the visit us!
