Pelham will celebrate Flag Day with an afternoon of patriotism as part of the America 250 Celebration in Pelham on Sunday, June 14.
The afternoon begins with a Flag Retirement Ceremony at 1:00 p.m. at Pelham City Cemetery, located at 137 Industrial Park Drive, Pelham, AL 35124. Residents are encouraged to drop off old, faded, or tattered American flags at Home Depot or any Pelham fire station before the event. Flags will be retired with honor during the solemn ceremony. Participants will be attired in historical costumes and explain the history of our flags. For questions about the flag retirement ceremony, please email Barry Winn (bwinn@bellsouth.net)
Following the ceremony, the celebration continues at Pelham City Park with Together Under One Flag from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The family-friendly event will feature live music from Alabama-based acoustic group Act of Congress, known for their rich harmonies and dynamic blend of mandolin, violin, guitar, and bass. The afternoon will also include bounce houses, patriotic crafts, games, a balloon artist, photo opportunities, food trucks, and recognition of United States military members from the stage.
Residents and visitors are invited to come together to celebrate patriotism, community, and the enduring spirit of America.
