Annual Marine Corps Birthday Luncheon
Welcome to the official website for the Annual Marine Corps Birthday Luncheon, a cherished tradition honoring the United States Marine Corps' founding on November 10, 1775. Each year, this midday gathering brings together active-duty Marines, veterans, families, and supporters to commemorate our many years of valor, sacrifice, and unbreakable camaraderie. Enjoy a formal luncheon, the iconic cake-cutting ceremony—symbolizing the passing of wisdom from the oldest to the youngest Marine—and inspiring tributes to our Corps' storied legacy. After the ceremony, relax on the patio with premium cigars and beers, toasting to "Semper Fidelis" and enjoying conversation and shared stories.
