About

Welcome back our old friend and Revolutionary War hero Major General Lafayette as he travels to Yorktown this fall!

This event marks the 200th Anniversary of Lafayette’s historic tour and will feature speeches to celebrate our alliance with France and the founding of our nation. You’ll discover why Americans turned out in droves to celebrate the charismatic Frenchman everywhere he went – especially in Yorktown!

Join us at Riverwalk Landing and the Yorktown waterfront at 3 p.m. to salute General Lafayette as he disembarks the tall ship Luna and greets fellow Americans.

Presented by American Friends of Lafayette, Daughters of the American Revolution, Sons of the American Revolution, and America 250.
