This Fourth of July weekend, experience three extraordinary days of live music, immersive programs, and hands-on activities for all ages as the country marks its semiquincentennial. Explore Mystic’s legacy as a center of national activism and social change. Uncover the quiet revolutions that unfolded within the Buckingham-Hall house. Visit the Print Shop for a commemorative handout made on a 19th-century press. Attend Stars and Stripes, Indeed! at the Treworgy Planetarium. Enjoy daily games, art activities, and an American Girl Doll Tea Party, featuring a costumed roleplayer, all weekend. At noon on July 4, don’t miss the “Antiques and Horribles” Parade—a quirky New England tradition dating back to 1876. Marchers don satirical, outlandish costumes and fill the air with music—you can even join the march!
Celebrate 250 years of American maritime heritage—past, present, and in the making.
