Front-Row Views of the Parade of Ships at The Residences at Dockside
A Celebration on the Waterfront
Residents and visitors at The Residences at Dockside experienced a truly spectacular sight last week as the Parade of Ships sailed along the Delaware River to mark the beginning of the Navy’s Homecoming 250 celebration. With its prime location on the Philadelphia waterfront, Dockside offered a front row seat to one of the most impressive and patriotic events the city has hosted in recent years.
On Thursday morning, Navy ships and other vessels made their way up the historic Delaware River, arriving in Philadelphia and Camden County, New Jersey, as part of the festivities. From their private balconies and the community’s outdoor terrace, Dockside residents had unparalleled views as the ships passed by, flags flying and crews standing proudly on deck. It was a moment that perfectly captured the spirit of Philadelphia, rich in history, community, and pride.
The Best Views in the City
Following the arrival of the ships, a ceremonial welcome and the traditional Blessing of the Fleet took place at several locations including the Navy Yard and Penn’s Landing, officially kicking off a weekend full of events, tours, and celebrations open to the public. The Parade of Ships was not only a visual highlight of the Homecoming 250 festivities but also a reminder of Dockside’s unmatched location right in the heart of the waterfront action.
From relaxing at home to joining the festivities along the river, residents of Dockside truly had the best of both worlds, luxury living and a front row view of history in the making.
