U.S. Naval Academy Band Holiday By the Bay Concert

Our annual "Holiday by the Bay" concert will take place on Thursday, December 11th at 7:30 p.m. at the Main Chapel on the grounds of the United States Naval Academy.

The eclectic concert will feature multiple Naval Academy Band ensembles and guests from the Brigade of Midshipmen performing a variety of multicultural holiday favorites, from traditional to modern. Santa Claus might just pay a special visit to delight children of all ages with holiday cheer and a sweet treat!

The Main Chapel is located on USNA yard at 121 Blake Road just inside Gate 3, at Maryland Avenue.

USNA Gate 3 will open to pedestrians to enter the Naval Academy from 6:45 to 8:00 p.m. The pedestrian turnstile exit at Gate 3 is available 24/7.
