So please shine up your spangles, don your best red, white, and blue, and join us for the greatest party this country has seen in two and a half centuries ... ... as we celebrate Carole and Tristan!

The Inaugural Red, White and Blue To-Do on July 2nd. As future president John Adams explained back in 1776, it’s because July 2 was arguably the real independence day — and the one that he thought should be celebrated every year. A vibrant display of patriotic celebration, Red, White, &amp; Blue To-Do will bring together museums, historic sites, and local businesses in America’s most historic square mile to honor our nation’s founding. This monumental occasion promises to be a memorable experience for all, featuring the Red, White, &amp; Blue To-Do Pomp &amp; Parade, festooned decor, concerts, games, extended visitation hours at area historic attractions, restaurant specials, and much more.
