Defenders Day - The Star-Spangled Banner Weekend all day
|
Honor and remember the citizen-soldier past and present by being part of the Star-Spangled Banner Weekend in Baltimore. Join this patriotic weekend at Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine and The Flag House & Star-Spangled Banner Museum September 12-14, 2008. The three-day event will feature parades, fireworks, a military encampment of over 100 War of 1812 reenactors, a symbolic ship-to-shore bombardment, noted authors, and a patriotic band concert.
The Star-Spangled Banner Weekend commemorates Defenders’ Day, Baltimore’s oldest holiday, which honors the successful defense of the city from British attack and the writing of the National Anthem in 1814. It has been a state holiday since 1908.
