The inaugural “Flags of Freedom” Celebration will take place on Tuesday, June 30 from 5:00–8:00 P.M. at Anna Gray Noe Park in downtown Monroe. The free public event will feature a stunning display of 250 American flags alongside immersive historical scenes, patriotic experiences, and live portrayals of iconic American figures including Abraham Lincoln, Pocahontas, Rosie the Riveter, Uncle Sam, Betsy Ross, Phillis Wheatley, and Paul Revere.
Live visual storytelling will recreate defining moments in American history, including Betsy Ross sewing the first American flag, our Founding Fathers with the Declaration of Independence, as well as Lady Liberty herself- the Statue of Liberty, just to name a few.
Families can also enjoy face painting, balloon artists, snow cones, hot dogs, and a photo booth. Serving as the cornerstone of the entire event will be 250 American Flags proudly waving throughout Anna Gray Noe Park. The event is presented by Leaders of Change.
