Celebrate the semiquincentennial of the American Revolution and Concord’s leading role in our nation’s fight for independence with this full day of events throughout the town that Emerson called home. To mark the 250th anniversary of the historic Battles of Concord and Lexington, this year’s Patriot’s’ Day parade & Old North Bridge ceremony will be followed by other special events around town, culminating in a light drone show in Monument Square at dusk.

Two hundred fifty years ago, the men and women of what is now Massachusetts secured their independence from Britain and created a new nation dedicated to the ideals of liberty, equality, natural and civil rights and responsible citizenship. Concord250 honors our first 250 years and inspires Americans to imagine our next 250. To mark this significant anniversary, residents, friends, and neighbors of Concord are invited to commemorate and celebrate this anniversary throughout the entire year.
