This year, 2026, marks the 25th Anniversary of Westarctica's independence as a sovereign nation state. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we will be hosting a gala event on 1 November 2026.

 

The gala will be in Berwick, Pennsylvania not far from where Westarctica's founder signed the Claimant Letter in 2001.

​

This event is an excellent opportunity to meet your fellow Westarcticans while enjoying a catered dinner, listening to speeches, watching an awards presentation, posing for pictures with the Grand Duke, and much more. If you ever wondered what Westarctica is all about, this is a great chance to see us in action!

​

Previous Anniversary Celebrations were held in Hollywood, California (2016) and Charlotte, North Carolina (2021) to great acclaim of those in attendance.
