Area Citizens, Businesses, and Organizations,
Greetings from the Town of Halifax Board of Commissioners! We hope this letter finds you well and everyone has had a great start to 2025. The year is going by so fast that Halifax Day and July 4th will be here before we know it. As we prepare for our two biggest days of the year, we would like to cordially invite you to participate in all of our festivities!
We proudly celebrate both of these days each year because, on April 12th 1776, Halifax had the distinct honor of hosting NC's Fourth Provincial Congress. Here, they adopted the Halifax Resolves, which directed NC's Delegates to vote for independence in Philadelphia on July 4th that same year. Their unanimous decision that day made it the first official action taken by a colony, thus solidifying Halifax's place in history as "The Birthplace of American Independence".
This year, on April 11th and 12th, the Historic Site will have living-history activities, weapons demonstrations, tours, and more from 1 Oam-5pm. On Saturday, there will be an indoor Vendor Market beginning at 11 :OOam, plus a kids zone in the playground from 12-6pm. Of course, our local businesses will be open both days as well!
The Town's Halifax Day event will begin at 6pm on Saturday, April 12th. There will be food trucks and a FREE concert on the steps of the Historic Courthouse, followed by a patriotic laser light show!
In July, the Town will also partner with Halifax Fire and Rescue to put on our annual fireworks event. This has become one of the most anticipated celebrations in Halifax County and we are proud of the support the community has shown for this beloved tradition.
Both of these events help to highlight the important and shared history of our wonderful Town; so it is our hope that Halifax Day and the 4th of July fireworks will continue to flourish for many years to come!
Such events would not be possible without generous donations from corporate and private Sponsors.
We thank you for your consideration and hope you will join us on both April 12th and July 4th!
With your support, we can continue to keep Halifax's amazing history alive with some of the best holiday events in the area! On the back of this letter, you will find details about our Sponsorship opportunities and payment options. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
