Twilight Tattoo Ceremony and Concert
U.S. Navy
Saturday, June 27, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Join us for the first tattoo of the season! Each program is a blend of historical tradition, pageantry and music. See the precision drill of the U.S. Navy Drill Team, hear the stirring patriotic music of the Navy Band and enjoy a special “living history” experience with the Fort McHenry Guard. Uniformed as the 1814 defenders of Baltimore, the Guard will demonstrate a cannon drill and a special cutlass drill. Program concludes with a “hands-on” folding of the 30'x42' Star-Spangled Banner flag and firing of the fort's evening gun.
