The 2008 MecDec Noon Commemoration

"Noon Commemoration of the 232nd Anniversary of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence"

Tuesday, May 20, 2008
12:00 noon at Independence Square

Plan to come out and celebrate this uniquely-Charlotte annual celebration.  The MecDec celebration has hosted four former Presidents (Taft, Wilson, Eisenhower and Ford), military Generals, a First Lady, and multiple dignitaries.  On the site of the declaration of freedom of May 20, 1775, we will celebrate the signing of the declaration, the spirit of our community and the unique and rebellious history that binds our community together.

Events will include, but not limited to: Military and Colonial Re-enactors, Historical Readings, horses, military parades, modern and urban Slam Poetry, and good ol’ American-styled patriotic celebration of who we are as a people.

Don’t miss out on this free event celebrating Charlotte and its people!
