USS Silversides Museum

Join the USS Silversides Submarine Museum for a powerful Memorial Day weekend event as we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We invite the community to an unforgettable day filled with history, remembrance, and unity. The event will feature family fun, an engine start of the WWII Gato-class Submarine, food, live entertainment, and a touching luminary walk at sunset. 

A Memorial Ceremony will take place at 6pm, followed by the engine start. 

Support this meaningful event and showcase your commitment to honoring our fallen heroes. Over 40,000 military service members from Michigan have lost their lives throughout the known conflicts. We hope this event will give you and the entire community an opportunity to walk through a lighted walkway and remember their sacrifice, courage, and celebrate their lives. Sponsor an individual luminary or part of the event, see how you can make an impact while we together, Honor. Remember. Educate.
