The Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration events are returning for 2021 from September 9-12. Find a full Schedule of Events: www.1814inc.com
The traditional parade is returning on Saturday, September 11th. Reenactments have long been one of the events, but won’t return this year.
Reenactor Paul Miller says the continued COVID-19 restrictions at the Northern Border is preventing many reenactors from Canada from being able to attend. Miller says reenactors will instead set up at the Kent-Delord House Museum and present blacksmithing, and military weapons demonstrations.
Tom Donahue, president of nonprofit 1814 Commemoration Inc., said the 2021 commemoration would be a salute to more than those who fought and died in the winning war battle more than 200 years ago.
He says the theme of this year’s event will be recognizing our veterans, Honor Flight people and our frontline workers who got us through the year that we just came through. Donahue says groups of first responders will be present to meet-and-greet the public at the Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration’s Thursday, September 9th kick-off event at Valcour Brewing Company on Ohio Avenue from 1p.m. to 4p.m.
