The Patriot Vigil
North Bridge, Concord
Lantern light procession: 7:50 p.m. (step off at North Bridge Visitor Center)
Ceremony at North Bridge: 8:00 – 8:45 p.m.
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 Patriots who gave their lives on that “ever-memorable” 19th of April. Please note, if you would like to participate in the procession, we ask you bring you own enclosed REAL candle lantern. (No flashlights or LED bulbs in the procession please.)
