The celebration of Independence Day has been a long standing tradition in Lower Manhattan from the very first days of the Revolution, and especially following the British military's evacuation in 1783. This year the celebration will begin with a Flag Raising, Cannon Salute to the fifty states at Castle Clinton, followed by a parade through historic downtown.
