Happy Sestercentennial Raleigh

Or perhaps, Happy Semiquincentennial Raleigh!
Whatever the case may be, happy 250th birthday America!
On my morning walk, I captured these photos of organizers setting up for tomorrow on the East side of the Capitol building. Festivities start at 10AM. See the photo of the sign for more details. I look forward to seeing everyone’s celebration photos!

I went early to beat the worst of the heat.

We didn’t go to the parade but kind of skirted around downtown at that time. Things don’t look that well attended. Anyone get a glimpse of the crowds?

The full parade is on the WRAL website. It looked like a small town 4th parade on video, and that’s okay with me.
The festival on Union Square was busy for the hour that I was there between 10:15 and 11:15.
Now I’m in the house until tonight when I walk to Dix Park for fireworks.
