The U.S. Navy proudly announces Burlington Navy Week, scheduled for Aug. 24-30, 2026. As part of a nationwide outreach effort, Burlington Navy Week will bring Sailors to engage directly with communities across the Lake Champlain region through a series of performances, educational activities, community events, and service projects.
As the Nation celebrates its 250th anniversary in 2026, Navy Weeks will embark on a celebratory “Road Trip to 250,” serving as symbolic stops across the United States to highlight the Navy’s history, heritage, and continued commitment to defending freedom and supporting American communities.
“We’re excited to bring Navy Week to Burlington for the first time and celebrate the history of our nation’s 14th state,” said Cmdr. Julie Holland, director of the Navy Office of Community Outreach. “Vermont has a proud naval legacy, and this event offers an outstanding opportunity to honor that history while strengthening the connection between our Sailors and the communities of the Lake Champlain Region.”
Navy Week events will feature Sailors from commands across the fleet, Navy bands, STEM demonstrations, and community service projects. The program aims to provide residents with a firsthand look at the Navy’s mission and the men and women who serve our nation around the world.
The 2026 event will build on these existing relationships, showcasing a lineup of performances, demonstrations, and community engagements from the following:
Navy Weeks bring the Navy to regions without a major naval presence, fostering connections and showcasing how the Navy’s mission ensures security, prosperity and freedom for our nation. The Navy Week program has visited more than 100 U.S. markets since the program’s inception in 2005.
