Memorial Day Weekend at Fort Ticonderoga
Saturday, May 23 – Sunday, May 24
This Memorial Day, Fort Ticonderoga invites visitors to do more than remember — to truly understand what was sacrificed. As part of the America 250 commemoration and Fort Ticonderoga’s REAL TIME REVOLUTION®, visitors will step inside the Continental Army of May 1776 — experiencing their weapons, rations, music, and daily struggle — and witness firsthand what those soldiers believed they were fighting and dying for. Living history programs and immersive demonstrations run throughout Saturday and Sunday, May 23–24, 2026, 9:30am–5pm.
The full weekend includes guided tours, narrated boat cruises, the King’s Garden, and museum exhibition spaces; historic trades programs; ongoing living history programs; thrilling weapons demonstrations; fife & drum performances; the Mount Defiance experience; and the Carillon Battlefield hiking trail.
Through our immersive daily programs and signature events, you won’t just learn about the past, you’ll feel it. Experience the immense pressure, difficult choices, and uncertain outcomes faced by the men and women who secured our independence.
