Hello Veterans and Friends and Family,
 

Come celebrate service, community, and America’s 250th birthday at the Veteran Food Festival — a special July 3rd gathering at Pier 17, South Street Seaport, held in partnership with the Tall Ships Parade, South Street Seaport, and the Robert Irvine Foundation.

From 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM, enjoy an afternoon of incredible food from veteran‑owned food trucks, meet fellow veterans and supporters, and take in one of New York City’s most iconic summer traditions as the Tall Ships sail past the pier.

This festival brings together veterans, active‑duty service members, military families, and all who support them for a patriotic waterfront celebration during NYC Fleet Week. Come for the food, stay for the ships, and be part of a moment that honors service and showcases the strength of the veteran community.

Great food. Great views. Great people. Join us at the Seaport for a July 3rd celebration you’ll remember.

S/F,
Gene Wu
USMC, Ret.
