Five Things: Flag Day in the Navy Yard

Here are five things you need to know about today.

 

1. Flag Day in the Navy Yard. On June 16, 2012, join the Constitution Museum and Keith Lockhart, Boston Pops conductor, for a ribbon cutting to open the NEW exhibit, Old Ironsides 1812 Discovery Center. Also on June 16 witness a spectacular patriotic display in the Navy Yard. Three 90 x 45 foot flags representing the United States, Great Britain, and Canada will be unfurled as a reminder of the 200 years of peace between the nations that fought during the War of 1812. The giant flags will stretch across the Navy Yard, from the Constitution Museum towards “Old Ironsides” – 12pm

2. A Last Look at the parade. If you didn't get enough of the parade last weekend, you can still catch a glimpse of it on BNN-TV. Footage of the parade will air twice this weekend, and twice more next week.

3. Copley Square Farmers Market: The Copley Square Farmers Market is open from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. tomorrow at Copley Plaza.
