Yorktown Victory Weekend With Colonial Williamsburg as an added bonus!!! Friday, October 18th - Sunday October 20th This is going to be the highlight of 2024 my friends. This weekend is jam packed with fun and meaningful activities including fireworks and a flyover by the French Airforce. There are parades and Franco-American ceremonies. Not only will we be celebrating the 243rd anniversary of the victory at Yorktown (and Lafayette's presence there), but also the Bicentennial of Lafayette's return there on October 19, 1824. Even better is the fact that the American Friends of Lafayette are the official hosts of this year's celebrations. Lafayette will be front and center. Lafayette will be everywhere. The parade and ceremonies will be Franco-American. Everything will be all about LAFAYETTE!!! We expect the public events to attract thousands of attendees.
