Join us for Mess Night 2026

Honoring Marine Corps Tradition and Supporting Our Marines.

An Evening of Honor and Tradition

Mess Night is one of the Marine Corps’ most revered traditions. It is a formal ceremonial dinner where Marines, wearing their dress blue uniforms adorned with medals, gather to uphold customs, strengthen camaraderie, and reinforce Esprit de Corps.

This special evening also serves as a tribute to the Marines who came before us and a reminder that service, sacrifice, and brotherhood extend far beyond the battlefield.
