Celebrate
the 4th of July - aboard the USS Hornet

year’s inaugural event aboard the USS Hornet. The fun will
begin at 1:00 p.m. following the traditional 4th of July parade
and will last until 10:00 p.m.
While you’re
exploring the USS Hornet, you and your family will enjoy food, beer,
wine, children’s games, live entertainment and a carrier view

success. You may contact our office at 510-522-0414 to request a

5,000 guests enjoyed the 4th of July celebration aboard the Hornet.
