Marines from Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C. perform their famous Sunset Parade in front of the memorial every Tuesday evening at 1900 during the summer months. The parade features a precision drill exhibition by the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon and a “Music-In-Motion” performance by the Marine Drum and Bugle Corps.
For more information on the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial or the Sunset Parades performed there, contact the Public Affairs Office at (202) 433-4173.
