The Second Continental Congress established the Continental Marines on 10 November 1775. Each year, near that date, Marines around the world celebrate the Marine Corps birthday. The celebration may be a formal ball, a casual party, a cake shared with friends, or a simple “Happy Birthday, Marine!”
We will be celebrating the 251st birthday of the
Marine Corps at the Huntingburg Event Center
on 7 November 2026. 🥳🎉

We are again asking for sponsors to help cover the cost of this traditional celebration. Sponsors can donate cash or sponsor a table. The table will seat 8 people of your choice. Sponsors will be acknowledged on a rolling presentation during social hour prior to the meal. If you wish to reserve a table, we will need that donation by the ticket purchase deadline so we can include those 8 people in the meal count.
