The USS Orleck Naval Museum served as the striking backdrop for the 2026 American Heroes Concert and Bike Fest, held on Friday, April 10.

Hosted by the Florida Historic Naval Ship Association, the evening was a celebration of camaraderie, music, history and community honoring the military, veterans and first responders. Guests enjoyed sunset views on the river while listening to live music courtesy of The Usual Suspects. The USS Orleck Naval Museum was also open to guests, offering a close-up look at the “Grey Ghost of the Vietnam Coast.”
