716 Celebrates: Stars, Stripes, & Signers VIP Experience

We are pleased to invite you to a special USS Little Rock VIP Experience as part of 716 Celebrates: Stars, Stripes & Signers on Saturday, September 5, at the Buffalo Naval Park.

Join us for this unforgettable evening on Buffalo’s waterfront, where guests will experience the rare opportunity to view fireworks from the decks of USS Little Rock, surrounded by great food, drinks, hospitality, and the unmistakable energy of our harbor at sunset. From the moment you arrive, the evening unfolds as a premium, immersive experience that brings together military heritage, constitutional history, cultural programs, and community celebration, distinguishing this event as far more than a fireworks display.  

Your VIP Experience ticket includes exclusive access to the Naval Park’s exhibit yard for an all-American cookout with beer, wine, and soft drinks, followed by a reception aboard USS Little Rock featuring hors d'oeuvres and a premium open bar. The evening will culminate with a premier waterfront view of the fireworks from the deck of USS Little Rock as we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.

This historic event is made possible through the leadership and support of the New York State America 250 Commission, Erie County’s America 250 Initiative, and the City of Buffalo, whose partnership is helping bring this once-in-a-generation celebration to life. More than a summer celebration, this is a defining Buffalo moment honoring America's 250th Anniversary through an experience that can only be found on the Buffalo waterfront, in the heart of our shared history, and in support of the Buffalo Naval Park's mission to honor, educate, inspire, and preserve the stories of those who served.
