What’s confirmed
West Point’s own graduation page confirms Graduation Day for the Class of 2027 is Saturday, May 22, 2027, at Michie Stadium — independently corroborated by the Thayer Hotel’s own booking page. It’s a real date pulled directly from the Academy’s own published schedule, not projected from a prior year.
A week, not a day
West Point calls it Graduation Week for a reason. In the most recent fully-documented cycle (Class of 2024), the week ran Tuesday, May 21 through Saturday, May 25, 2024: a Medal of Honor dedication and wreath-laying on Tuesday, concerts and a Superintendent’s reception midweek, awards ceremonies Thursday, a graduation parade on The Plain and a graduation banquet Friday, and commencement itself at Michie Stadium on Saturday morning, followed by commissioning and bar-pinning ceremonies that afternoon. Treat this as the general shape of the week — not a confirmed day-by-day schedule for 2027, which West Point had not yet published in full as of this check.
Where the ceremony happens
Commencement is held at Michie Stadium, Army’s football stadium, where the week culminates with the Cadet First Captain’s order: “Class Dismissed!” — the moment the graduating class tosses their white hats.
Where this fits with your hotel plan
Most families attending the full week already hold a Thayer Hotel reservation booked years out, or a West Point Motel room. See where to stay for the current status of both, or sold out, now what for Middletown and Poughkeepsie as fallbacks.
