FAQs

What, when, and where is the Liberty and Union Festival?

The festival is a family-friendly, fall festival that celebrates the unique history of Taunton, Massachusetts in the American Revolution. The festival is held on a Saturday, close to the historic date of October 21, when, in 1774, patriots raised the Liberty & Union flag on Taunton Green. Today, the Old Colony History Museum celebrates on Church Green with community partners, activities, vendors, and lots of historic fun!
