Please join Congressional Cemetery and the Marine Band for a celebration of the life and legacy of John Philip Sousa. The Marine Band plays the music the “March King” composed at his graveside every year on his birthday and the public is welcome and encouraged to attend, for free!

Congressional Cemetery will start the program at 12:30 PM with a short awards ceremony, followed by a brief lecture by a John Philip Sousa impersonator himself!

The Marine Corps band will enter through the 17th Street gate at precisely 1:00 PM for a 25 minute concert at the grave site, located near the chapel.

Rain or shine, free to the public.  Closed to dogs.
