The United States Army 250th Anniversary Parade was held on June 14, 2025, as part of semiquincentennial celebrations.
The parade commemorated the founding of the U.S. Army on June 14, 1775. That date is also Flag Day, giving the event a connection to both Army history and a long-standing national observance.
The route ran from the Pentagon area in Arlington, Virginia, toward the National Mall and Washington, D.C. Participants included soldiers, military vehicles, aircraft and historical formations representing different eras of Army service.
The parade is sometimes mistaken for the main America250 anniversary event because it occurred during the broader national commemoration. It actually marked the Army’s 250th birthday and served as an early celebration connected with the United States semiquincentennial, whose central anniversary came on July 4, 2026.
