美国海军自豪地宣布,“国家公园海军周”计划于4月19日至26日举行。作为全国性外展工作的一部分,该活动将通过一系列表演、教育活动、社区活动和服务项目,让水兵们直接与全国各地的社区互动。
随着美国在2026年庆祝其建国及建军250周年,海军周将开启名为“迈向250周年公路旅行”的庆祝活动。这将在全美范围内设立象征性的站点,以突出海军的历史、遗产,以及捍卫自由和支持美国社区的持续承诺。
“将海军周带入国家公园是我们海军社区外展计划的历史性首次,”海军社区外展办公室主任朱莉·霍兰德指挥官表示,“国家公园是国家遗产的基石,这是一个难得的机会,在纪念历史的同时,建立水兵与公众之间更强大的联系。”
选定的公园包括热泉、锡安、大烟山、奥林匹克、梅萨维德、大沼泽地、库亚霍加谷国家公园,以及国家广场和纪念碑公园。海军周活动的地点包括阿肯色州热泉、犹他州圣乔治、田纳西州诺克斯维尔、华盛顿州安吉利斯港、科罗拉多州科特兹、佛罗里达州好莱坞以及俄亥俄州克利夫兰。
海军周活动将邀请来自各舰队司令部的水兵、海军乐队和高级官员参加。该计划旨在让居民第一手了解海军的任务,以及在世界各地为国家服务的男女官兵。2026年的活动将建立在现有的关系基础上,展示包括海军音乐表演在内的一系列互动内容。
The U.S. Navy proudly announces National Parks Navy Week, scheduled April 19-26.
As part of a nationwide outreach effort, National Parks Navy Week will bring Sailors to engage directly with communities across the nation 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.
“Bringing Navy Week to our National Parks is a historic first for our Navy community outreach program,” said Cmdr. Julie Holland, director of the Navy Office of Community Outreach. “National Parks are cornerstones of our national heritage, and this is a remarkable opportunity to honor that history while building a stronger connection between our Sailors and the American public."
Selected parks include Hot Springs, Zion, Great Smoky Mountains, Olympic, Mesa Verde, Everglades, Cuyahoga Valley national parks, and the National Mall and Memorial Park. We’re excited to collaborate with these national parks near selected Navy Week locations across the United States. Navy Week locations include Hot Springs, Arkansas, St. George, Utah, Knoxville, Tennessee, Port Angeles, Washington, Cortez, Colorado, Hollywood, Florida, and Cleveland, Ohio.
Navy Week events will feature hometown Sailors and Namesake ships from commands across the Fleet, our Navy bands, and Senior Executives. 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 Music: Enjoy live musical performances and masterclasses from Navy musicians as they appear at venues throughout the selected National Parks and gateway communities.
Navy STEM: Experience hands-on demonstrations displaying STEM capabilities, giving residents a close look at the technology and expertise behind today’s Navy.
Namesake Sailors: Meet Sailors serving aboard ships bearing the names of states or communities connected to the selected National Parks as they connect with the communities.
Sailors from Across the Fleet: Engage with Sailors from commands around the world, including “hometown heroes” from areas around the selected National Parks, who will return to represent their Navy and share their stories with their community.
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 over 100 U.S. markets since the program’s inception in 2005.
