About

On February 24, 2015, the Virginia Assembly passed House Joint Resolution No. 797 “Designating March 14, in 2015 and in each succeeding year, as a Day of Honor for the Marquis de Lafayette in Virginia.”

We will gather once again, for the 11th time at the Virginia State House on March 14, 2025 at 10:00am. We expect many dignitaries in attendance including Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin.

10:00am: We will start with the Lafayette Day ceremony in the Rotunda of the Virginia State House (1000 Bank St. Richmond, VA 23219). Pay parking lots and decks are nearby on 8th & Grace Streets and 7th & Marshall Streets.

The Virginia Statehouse houses the oldest elected legislative body in North America. We will conduct a wreath laying ceremony (again, 10:00am) in front of Houdon’s Lafayette bust and Washington's statue in the Capitol Rotunda.
