  • Midway’s Outreach Team and the ⚓️ Midway float were proud to be a part of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Parade last Sunday. The parade’s theme, “Keeping the Dream Alive, We’re Better Together,” brought together many spectators, even in some rain.
“41” is a special number for Midway, and we were glad to participate in the 41st annual parade honoring the legacy of Dr. King 👏🏻

  • The USS Midway arrived at the Navy Pier in downtown San Diego 19 years ago on this day. The USS Midway departed on her final mission as she moved via tug boat across the San Diego Bay to take up permanent residence moored alongside downtown San Diego's historic Navy Pier ⚓️
Since that day, the USS Midway Museum has become a permanent tribute, memorial, and education center of naval aviation and service to the country for San Diegans and visitors alike.
