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 path from the North Bridge Visitor Center to the North Bridge will be lighted with 122 luminaries to honor those who lost their lives in the battle.
If you would like to participate in the procession, please bring your own enclosed candle lantern – real candles only – no flashlights or LED lights. Gather at 7:30 pm in front of North Bridge Visitor Center to join the lantern light procession, 174 Liberty St, Concord, MA. From there, we will march down the quarter-mile path to the North Bridge, where the ceremony will occur. Participants are welcome to wear 18th-century clothing if they choose, but please do not bring muskets.
Please refer to the park event listing for any updates. Parking is available at the North Bridge Visitor Center at 174 Liberty Street, Concord, MA, and the North Bridge Parking Lot at 280 Monument Street, Concord, MA.
