The Star-Spangled Banner Weekend honors Defenders Day, Baltimores oldest holiday commemorating the bombardment of Fort McHenry and the writing of "The Star-Spangled Banner!" Events begin with a Friday evening ceremonial procession of War of 1812 "soldiers" from the Star-Spangled Banner Flag House to the Inner Harbor, followed by a ceremony at the amphitheater. After the ceremony the reenactors will board sailing boats and return with the 30x42 replica flag to Fort McHenry.
Saturday and Sunday, activities include childrens programs, historic boats, military encampments/demonstrations and a "privateers auction" of "captured goods." Saturday evenings program, beginning at 6 p.m., features a concert, a musket firing tactical demonstration with volunteer reenactors from all over the country (narrated), a symbolic ship-to-shore bombardment and evening fireworks show.
