Above: The William Diamond Jr. Fife and Drum Corps of Lexington, MA performs as part of Liberty and Union Weekend.

Each fall, Taunton, Massachusetts' Liberty and Union Weekend commemorates the events of October 1774, when our community became the first in the American colonies to raise a flag in opposition to British rule. That flag - the "Liberty and Union" flag - flies proudly over our city to this day.

Liberty and Union Weekend 2022 is October 14 & 15.  Please visit the Schedule page for details, and join in celebrating the flag that sparked a revolution!
