St. Michaels, MD,
April 5, 2013– Applications are now being accepted for entrants in the
Battle of St. Michaels Celebration parade to be held in St. Michaels on
Saturday, August 10, 2013. The parade
will begin at 10:00 am and is sponsored by the Town of St. Michaels in
conjunction with the Star Spangled 200 state-wide commemoration. Following the parade, and continuing
throughout the weekend, the Town of St. Michaels will host encampments,
lectures, concert music, food and children's activities promoting heritage
tourism and the region's significance in this important historical event.
Beginning at the ballpark across from the Inn at Perry
Cabin, the parade will proceed south on Talbot St. and end at the St. Michaels
High School parking lot. The approximate
duration of the parade will be one hour. The parade will feature bands,
military groups, community groups, re-enactors, classic automobiles, elected
officials and floats with an historic or nautical theme. Prizes will be awarded in three categories:
bands, floats, and groups that best represent the culture and history of the
era. Deadline for submission is June 30,
2013. Space is limited so applications
will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis.
