SUMMARY:Pole Capping Day - Patriots Day Reenactment of a Colonial Protest in Bedford
DESCRIPTION:The Opening battles of the American Revolution took place in Lexington in Concord on April 19th\, 1775. This is the 250th anniversary of this monumental event. Before any shots were fired\, so many events led up to the actual conflict to start the revolution. Cities and towns across New England were gearing up for what was to come. \nOne act of defiance\, (which dates back to Roman times)\, was to place a red cap on a pole. This simple act of Pole Capping was a provocative move. \nOne tradition in Bedford that started back in 1965 was reenacting this show of defiance with their annual Pole Capping event. Reenactors in colonial costumes for both the Colonists as well the Red Coats march from the Bedford Common to Willson Park march to defy the British and climb a pole to lodge their grievances. \nMinuteman reenactors from throughout the region come to Bedford to participate in this event that is kicked off with a festive parade from the Town Common. \nPole Capping Day is considered the start of the Patriots Day celebration in the region. Along with the event there is the traditional Pancake breakfast and other activities. While you’re here\, you can also visit the Bedford Historical Society’s exhibit on its opening day: \nThe Bedford Historical Society will also open their exhibit\, “Bedford Answers the Call.”\nBedford Town responded to the urgent alarm spread through Eastern Massachusetts on the night of April 18\, 1775. They were one of the five towns involved in the exchange of fire at the North Bridge. To commemorate the 250 th anniversary of that day\, the Bedford Historical Society is mounting an exhibition entitled “Bedford Answers the Call.” It will open on Pole Capping Day\, April 12\, 2025\, and remain until January\, 2026\, highlighting Bedford’s participation in the first moments of the American Revolution. Visit the Bedford Historical Society at 16 South Road\, rear door. Call for hours at 781-275-7276. \nThe exhibition is free.

SUMMARY:Concord’s Secret History (World Premiere Screening)
DESCRIPTION:April 12 – 8PM \nApril 14 – 2:30PM \nWorld premiere of new documentary about the history of slavery in the region surrounding Concord\, Massachusetts\, in co-production by Kogainon Films (USA) and GTVdocs (UK). The documentary reveals a long-suppressed secret\, set in Concord\, Massachusetts—the birthplace of the American Revolution\, where the first shots were fired on April 19\, 1775. While Concord is often celebrated for its role in the fight for freedom\, few are aware of the untold stories that extend beyond its borders. The film also explores hidden narratives from both Medford and Harvard University\, offering a richer\, more complete picture of the region’s colonial past. \nThe premiere will take place in Concord on April 12\, 2025 at The Umbrella Arts Center\, followed by distribution to over 500 PBS member stations across the United States via PBS+. After the screening\, the filmmakers and historians involved in the project will participate in a facilitated talk-back\, providing an opportunity for deeper engagement and discussion. \nPartners: Concord250\, Concord DEI\, The Umbrella Arts Center

SUMMARY:Reenactment of the Battle of Lexington - Lexington Patriots’ Day
DESCRIPTION:A tribute to those patriots who fell on Lexington Green on the morning of April 19\, 1775. \nSince 1971\, the Lexington Minute Men have recreated the birth of American liberty on Lexington Common\, also known as the Lexington Battle Green\, at 6 AM on Patriots’ Day. First proclaimed as a public holiday in Massachusetts in 1894\, Patriots’ Day commemorates the start of the American Revolution at the Battle of Lexington. The Battle of Lexington is commemorated every year on the third Monday in April. We pay tribute to those patriots who fell on Lexington Green on the morning of April 19\, 1775\, and to the courage and fortitude of those who continued the fight throughout the day. The celebration usually spans an entire weekend culminating with the annual parade through Lexington Center. \nAfter dawn on Patriots’ Day\, spectators ring the Common watching the huddled group of Minute Men- “The Alarm” at the Old Belfry. Soon they hear the steady pounding of drums and marching feet as column upon column of red-coated Regulars come into view. Angry words are spoken. Then a shot is fired. Volley after volley of musket fire follows. Seven men fall. The Regulars shout a triumphant “huzza” and continue on to Concord. Despite losing close friends and family members\, the Minute Men soon follow them to Concord\, where they have their revenge. This is the historic reenactment of the beginning of the War for American Independence \nMore events to spend your day in Lexington: \nThe Sunrise Youth Parade is organized annually as a part of Patriots’ Day celebrations. It provides younger members of the community the opportunity to experience the joy and excitement of the weekend. \nLexington Lions Club Annual Five-Mile Road Race: Set against the backdrop of scenic Lexington\, this event not only marks a significant milestone but also embodies the spirit of Patriots’ Day\, a day steeped in American history. \nUSS Lexington Memorial Ceremonies: This ceremony commemorates the role played by the U.S.S. Lexington ships and honors those who served aboard the five vessels named U.S.S. Lexington. \nPatriots’ Day Afternoon Parade: The most anticipated event of the weekend which is a two-hour parade starting from East Lexington to Worthen Road.

SUMMARY:Colonial Dance Tunes and Love Songs
DESCRIPTION:Dressed in the clothes of 18th-century itinerant musicians\, Deirdre Sweeney and Al Petty will perform an extensive repertoire of historical dance music\, as well as marches and laments\, including 18th-century tunes such as “Mr. Isaac’s Maggot” and “Jack’s Health.” Their instruments include the flute\, penny whistle\, recorder\, and fife. The music was gathered from manuscripts printed between the 17th and 19th centuries and arranged in counterpoint.\nThe two musicians\, who sometimes appear with a third musician as the Colonial Minstrels\, have long been active in related musical cultures\, including American fife and drum and traditional Irish music. They are popular performers at the Paul Revere House Museum in Boston. \nDoors open at 2 PM for a social period and refreshments; 2:15 PM Announcements and Annual Meeting\, followed by the Guest Speaker. \nThere is an elevator to the 3rd floor\, where the program will be held. \nThis event is free and open to the public.
