The St Michaels Museum will again celebrate Independence Day with a beginning with children’s parade. The festivities begin at St. Mary’s Square at 10 am. Patriotic dress is encouraged by all, and children, bicycles, wagons, and pets are welcomed to participate.
Follow the parade route from the museum at St. Mary’s Square, along Talbot St, and back to the square. The patriotic program begins at 11am. The Pledge of Allegiance and flag raising will be led by Boy Scout Troop 741.
Enjoy refreshments from the fire department’s food truck and Justine’s Ice Cream. Phillips Wharf’s Fishmobile and Magician John Dodge will be there for the children’s enjoyment.
Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Curator Pete Lesher will speak on “Frederick Douglas and Freedom Through Education”. The Museum will be open so parade attendees can tour the current exhibit, “Business in St Michaels” and the Permanent Exhibit of the Life of Frederick Douglass.
