Dumfries celebrated its 275th anniversary with a grand Gala held at the National Museum of the Marine Corps on May 10, 2024. The event, emceed by Guy Lambert, a radio news anchor now with WTTG-TV in Washington, D.C., drew an attendance of approximately 150-200 guests, falling short of the advertised 350-person "sold out" crowd advertised by town officials.
Despite the anticipation, the room was noticeably less crowded than expected, with ample space for movement. Attendees were treated to a menu of food, though leftovers were abundant. Complimentary water and iced tea were available, while a bar offered additional beverage options. However, hors d'oeuvres were notably absent from the menu.
