Revolutionary War reenactors will be on site along with the colonial Town Crier to set the landscape for the celebration of the 250th birthday of the United States of America.
During this season of seminal events the Camden County Commissioners are preparing for the nation’s 250th Anniversary, the FIFA World Cup, and a variety of other events throughout the year. Today, April 8 at noon, at Wiggins Waterfront Park, 2 Riverside Drive, Camden, the Board of Commissioners will join local leaders to announce the schedule of events for South Jersey 250, a coordinated regional initiative commemorating our nation’s 250th birthday. To enhance and improve the county’s ever expanding park system, the Commissioners, their local partners, and stakeholders are planning to amplify and activate the most used green spaces throughout the county for the foundation for many of this year’s events.
“Our proximity to Philadelphia places our region at the heart of our nation’s origin story and while our neighbor on the other side of the Delaware is recognized as the cradle of liberty, New Jersey has possibly a more impactful history when it comes to the founding of this country and our battle for independence,” said Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli Jr. “South Jersey 250 will recognize the vast history of the region and give residents a one stop shop for everything happening within the county and beyond.”
The goal of the events planned as part of South Jersey 250 is to build on the foundation of South Jersey and Camden County as a destination for visitors and further enhance the special quality of life that residents already enjoy.
