SUMMARY:Revolution & The Enlightenment Candlelight Concert (Plymouth)
DESCRIPTION:Hundreds of flickering candles will create a serene ambiance\, offering a magical\, immersive escape for the evening. America’s rise to independence coincided with Europe’s own awakening in an age of revolution. Mozart was a practicing Freemason and defended the principles of equality and that music should be accessible for all people. Although he depended on aristocratic support\, he was a staunch defender of the average citizen. His music took a turn from the Baroque era by featuring beautiful melodies with clean and less adorned lines. Johann Hummel was a student of Mozart and embraced the ideals of clarity\, structure\, elegant melodies and individual expression. We are pleased to bring these two beautiful works to historic Pilgrim Hall Museum.

SUMMARY:The Spirit of Brimfield - 250 Years of Freedom
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, June 13\, 2026\, in conjunction with Brimfield Old Home Day\, our community will gather\, and all are welcome to celebrate our nation’s 250th anniversary of our freedom and liberty. Hundreds of Brimfield and area residents answered the voluntary call to duty from 1775 and throughout the Revolutionary War. They will be recognized by a series of cemetery tours between 10:30am-1pm where their narrative stories will be told by historians at each of their burial sites. Formal presentations and performances will begin at 2pm on the Town Common bandstand\, we can expect stories of patriotism\, duty\, honor\, and public service. The parade will begin from the public safety complex at 3pm\, proceed around the Town Common\, and conclude in the Brimfield Winery fields where attendees are welcome to take selfies with the parade participants. We expect the Springfield Kiltie Band\, 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment\, a helicopter flyover\, the 215th Army Band\, local high school marching band\, Brimfield’s antique fire truck\, and more. Everyone is welcome to enjoy live music and entertainment throughout the day at the Brimfield Winery. Around dusk the bonfire pit will be lit\, while the story of Maj. Gen. Henry Knox’ amazing mission to bring cannons from Ticonderoga to Boston will be narrated. The evening concludes with a fireworks display.

This 2.5-hour walking tour travels the Freedom Trail in Downtown Boston and the North End\, following in the footsteps of Colonial Bostonians\, all of whom grappled with the difficult—yet essential—question of loyalty or rebellion to crown and country.
