We will be posting more about the Parade and its history. Our Color Guard part in the Parade will be sponsored by the Salisbury Chapter SAR. Last year their float won Best Float in the Parade.
Join us at the North Carolina State Capitol for the annual Independence Day Celebration. The Raleigh Color Guard will participate in ceremonial events such as presenting the colors, laying a wreath at the George Washington statue on the grounds, and then retiring the colors. After the ceremony, we will proceed to the Museum of History to ring the Liberty Bell 13 times.
