On Sunday, April 14 at the Old North Church & Historic Site, we will commemorate the 244th anniversary of when two lanterns were hung in the Old North’s steeple signaling the advance of the British “by sea.” The ceremony celebrates active citizenship and freedom, as defined by that night. It is an unforgettable evening of pageantry, patriotism, and song enjoyed by hundreds of guests.

This year, our keynote speaker will be Attorney General Maura Healey, the chief lawyer and law enforcement officer of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
