With summer upon us, you might be ooking ahead to the Fourth of July as an opportunity to celebrate American independence. But did you know that there’s another occasion for expressing your patriotism — and it’s coming up even sooner? June 14th marks Flag Day, commemorating the adoption of the American flag, which happened 241 years ago on this date in 1777, as well as the birth of the American continental army, which occurred on the same day two years earlier.
This year, celebrate Flag Day in Somerville, NJ, where the Somerville Elks Lodge #1068 hosts an annual country music festival, to be held this year on Friday, June 15th starting at 5pm. Look forward to a naturalization ceremony for new Somerset County citizens, a Flag Day ceremony, country music and more. Plus, event organizers will be running a donation drive for serving troops, collecting food donations, toiletries and old cell phones.
This year’s event will be held on Main Street and on the courthouse grounds at 20 North Bridge Street in Somerville, NJ, located in Somerset County.
