The U.S. Navy & Marines' Anniversary commanded one of the largest non-combat logistical and security operations in the city since the Papal Visit. ESM Productions delivered a multi-location experiential experience, managing a complex 9-day operational footprint, synchronizing 7+ major events across the Delaware River and historic city centers.
These synchronized events included the monumental Parade of Ships Ceremony, the central Navy and Marine Corps Parade, the highly anticipated Victory at Sea Concert and more. The experience hosted thousands of attendees across all events and featured performances by legendary Patti LaBelle, hosted by actor/veteran Rob Riggle, and featured celebrity chef Robert Irvine & more.
The entire celebration became a transforming moment imprinted in American history, amplified by integrated live production, broadcast, and streaming.
