Lex250 is almost here! This Patriots’ Day marks the semiquincentennial celebration of the Battle of Lexington and the town has been preparing all year. In addition to the usual host of parades, events, and activities, this year will also feature a number of unique celebrations that will highlight Lexington’s place in American history.
LexMedia is joining the historic celebrations. We will be making the weekend accessible to everyone by broadcasting a number of celebrations live so that those who cannot attend can watch from home. Anyone with a television or internet access can watch the Battle Green Reenactment, the Rededication of the Green, the Patriots’ Day Afternoon Parade, and the events at Cary Hall live from the comfort of your home live on Saturday, April 19th. It will all be available to watch at your convenience afterwards on our YouTube channel and OnDemand on our website.
There are three ways you can watch the live events:
- Tune in to our channels on your television:
