Ipswich bike parade

Plans are in motion for the Birthplace of American Independence to celebrate the country’s 250th birthday in style.
The July 4 celebration will commence with the return of the beloved bike parade from Winthrop Elementary to Town Hall. Trikes, wagons, and walkers are also encouraged to join.
The kick-off parade will pass by, or within sight of, 45 historic homes that were standing when the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, according to HistoricIpswich.net. Owners of those homes will receive a 1777 Betsy Ross flag to hang or wave as the procession passes by.
