CAMP GERONIMO 2024

June 6th

The big news this year is that there will be not one, but 3 parades:

• Sunday, June 2, 4pm: The first parade will represent the civilians and resistance fighters of the 40s, open to the whole family. Participants can travel by foot, bike, horse or car.
• Wednesday June 5, 11am: The second parade will feature vehicles from the Allied Forces.
• Sunday June 9, 7pm: The third and final parade will be the one that takes place every year at the end of the commemorations.

To take part in one of the first two parades, you can register at collection@airborne-museum.org, by specifying which parade you want to take part in, and by joining photos to your mail. To do so, you’ll need to have the right outfit for one of the parades (40s civilian or resistance fighter outfit for the first, Allied soldier outfit for the second). You can also bring your own vehicle, which must also correspond to the theme of the parade you wish to take part in. The museum does not supply outfits or vehicles. Finally, for reasons of historical correspondence, children’s participation in the military parade on Wednesday June 5 is not possible.

A Facebook page entirely dedicated to Camp Geronimo has also been created. Don’t hesitate to follow it for real-time information, photos and videos of the preparations, presentations of the different groups, and much more exclusive content.

Finally, here is Sainte-Mère-Eglise’s town hall’s program for the 80th anniversary, including the concerts and the parachute drops.

Below you’ll find all the events associated with Camp Geronimo, as well as those organized by the museum itself. Finally, we’ve taken the liberty of listing the most noteworthy events organized by the town hall.
