Patriots’ Day is almost here! This year marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which was set in motion in Lexington and Concord the year before. Lexington has a number of parades, events, and activities organized to highlight the role it played in American history.
LexMedia is joining the historic celebrations. We will be making the weekend accessible to everyone by broadcasting a number of celebrations live so that those who cannot attend can watch from home. Anyone with a television or internet access can watch Paul Revere’s Ride, the Battle Green Reenactment, the Patriots’ Day Afternoon Parade, the Naturalization Ceremony on the Battle Green, and the events at Cary Hall live from the comfort of your home live on Saturday, April 18th. It will all be available to watch at your convenience afterwards on our YouTube channel and OnDemand on our website.
There are three ways you can watch the live events:
- Tune in to our channels on your television:
- LPTV (Astound 3/HD613, Verizon 35, Comcast 8)
- LETV (Astound 13/HD614, Verizon 36, Comcast 9)
- LGTV (Astound 15/HD629, Verizon 37, Comcast 99)
