Liberty and Union Flag Raising
11:30 am- 12:20 pm
The annual Flag Raising Ceremony begins at the Robert Treat Paine statue in front of Taunton City Hall with a wreath laying ceremony led by SAR. From there, a procession led by the William Diamond Junior Fife and Drum Corps takes the crowd to the flag pole in front of the Old Colony History Museum at 66 Church Green. A ceremony ensues honoring the Tauntonians who were the first in the colonies to raise a flag in opposition of British rule. Muskets are fired, trumpets blare, and the occasion is very festive.

Immediately following the ceremony enjoy the most Revolutionary Festival in these parts! Music, historic re-enactors, food, vendors, a beer tent, and free activities for the whole family make this an event not to miss. See the activities page for more details (Psst. There's a real, live Blacksmith!)
