The America250 U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Parade ran from the Pentagon to which destination?

The America250 U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Parade ran from the Pentagon to the National Mall.

Held on June 14, 2025, the parade commemorated the 250th anniversary of the United States Army, which was established on June 14, 1775. Its route began at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and continued into Washington, D.C., ending at the National Mall.

The event served as an early major celebration connected with the United States Semiquincentennial. It featured soldiers, military vehicles, aircraft, horses, parachutists, and musical performances by seven bands.

The parade is sometimes described simply as occurring in Washington, D.C., but its route crossed the Potomac-area boundary between Arlington and the capital. That distinction explains why the Pentagon appears as the starting point while the National Mall is the destination.
