Celebration Committee
Mission Statement:
The Celebration Committee, under the direction of the Lincoln
Recreation Department, coordinates Lincoln’s Memorial
Day Observance, July 4th festivities, and Summer Series at
Pierce Park; and supports Patriots Day activities.
Our Events:
Memorial Day Observance: On Monday, May 28, the Lincoln
Girl Scouts invite you to a ceremony honoring our veterans
and remembering those who sacrificed their lives in serving
our country. At 10:00 a.m., Lincoln's American Legion (Post
84) and Veterans of Foreign Wars (Post 5239) will gather at
Bemis Hall and lead a march down the hill to the Lincoln Public
Library. Other veterans and civilians of all ages are invited
to join the march. At the library, Girl Scouts will lay the
Memorial Wreath. A firearms salute will be delivered and taps
will be sounded, followed by an invocation, keynote speaker,
recognition of all veterans, and the singing of the national
anthem. In the event of rain, the Observance will take place
inside Bemis Hall.
Lincoln 4th of July: The town’s biggest community
event, the 4th of July draws hundreds of visitors from neighboring
towns to watch the parade, enjoy a summertime barbeque, and
sit under a massive fireworks show.
