from Ellie: The following article highlights our more recent parades that I’m familiar with since moving here in 1996. The article is from the magazine: Havre de Grace ~ the meeting place, dated Spring/Summer 2011. Kellie Boehm was the editor. Sadly, I’ve not been able to find the tape recording.

2011-Organized-Chaos-with-Carolyn-Narvell2017 Havre de Grace Independence Day Commission
The new commission took over the operation of the Havre de Grace July 4/Independence activities, under the able leadership of Christy Silverstein and Taryn Martin, offering a parade, concert, and fireworks on the day of the celebration. They have continued the tradition and again this year we will celebrate with the same sense of community.

In addition, I share with you a video created with images from 2002 – 2018. I think it speaks for itself about the amazing community we have on this very special day. ENJOY – and savor this year’s events. Special thank you to all those involved in making the celebrations possible. THANK YOU!
