The United States Army 250th Anniversary Parade took place on June 14, 2025, during the lead-up to America250.
The date was significant because the Continental Congress created the United States Army on June 14, 1775. The Army's anniversary therefore came one year before the nation's 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
The parade traveled from the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, to the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It featured soldiers, vehicles, aircraft, horses, bands, and other military displays as part of a large public celebration.
June 14 is also Flag Day in the United States. The parade's date consequently combined an Army anniversary, a national flag observance, and an early major event connected with the broader Semiquincentennial celebration.
