The George Washington Birthday Ball, hosted by Sons of the Revolution in the State of New York, Inc., is held each year to honor George Washington and to benefit Fraunces Tavern® Museum.
In 2026, we will celebrate the 250th Anniversary of our Nation’s founding, and honor the newest branch of our Nation’s armed forces: the United States Space Force. Our Distinguished Patriot will be Lt. Gen. John Shaw (U.S. Space Force, ret.), who served as Deputy Commander of the United States Space Command.
Read a message from the President of Sons of the Revolution in the State of New York, Inc. and the Co-Chairman of the Ball Committee here.
For more information, contact gwball@frauncestavernmuseum.org or (212) 425-1776.
All Other Tickets will be available for purchase beginning December 6, 2025.
