Operation MWR isn’t just about the music—it’s about bringing our Navy community together. As part of Navy MWR’s ongoing efforts to improve Quality of Service, these concerts are designed to enhance morale and resilience among service members and their families. By creating moments to unwind, recharge, and enjoy time with your fellow Sailors, Operation MWR helps boost morale and strengthen the well-being of our Navy community.
This year’s Operation MWR concerts are also marquee events in the Navy and Nation’s 250th birthday celebration—a historic, two-year tribute to the Navy’s legacy of service, global impact, and strong partnerships with our Allies. These concerts are part of a larger effort to honor that legacy and connect with the communities we proudly serve.
Event Eligibility: Event guests with valid Department of Defense (DoD) ID cards and base access are eligible to attend. Guests must be with DoD ID cardholders at all times and present a REAL ID for access.
