Description

From the National Park Service:

As darkness descends upon the North Bridge battlefield we invite you to come and reflect on the events of April 19, 1775 and the meaning of liberty. The evening ceremony will feature a lantern-light procession, poetry, music, and a recitation of the names of the soldiers who gave their lives on that “ever-memorable” 19th of April.

The procession begins from North Bridge Visitor Center (174 Liberty St. Concord). The ceremony takes place at the North Bridge. You can park at either location, Liberty St. for the visitor center, Monument st. for the Bridge

Lantern light procession: 7:45 p.m. (step off at North Bridge Visitor Center, and walk down to the North Bridge) Ceremony at North Bridge: 8:00 – 8:45 p.m.

Please note, if you would like to participate in the procession at 7:45 p.m. we ask you bring your own enclosed candle lantern - real candles only - no flashlights or LED lights in the procession please.
