The revised schedule…
In 2020:
September 17,
US Post Office will release the commemorative US stamp with an image of the
Mayflower. There will be a ceremony in Plymouth, next to the Mayflower’s home
berth on the waterfront.
Indigenous History Conference,
Oct. 29-30: Slated
to begin on Oct. 29 at Bridgewater State University, the conference is still
scheduled as planned but will ultimately be determined by COVID-19 guidelines
in the coming months. Plans for a virtual conference are being considered as an
alternative to gathering in person.
Illuminate Thanksgiving 2020,
Nov. 20-25: This
annual tradition will be held as a virtual event with partners from four
nations; the Netherlands, UK and Wampanoag tribes. Plymouth International
Chorus, Plymouth UK and US public schools, One Small Candle award recipients,
interviews, and performances will be included. Programming will be held during
Thanksgiving week 2020. NBC10 and PACTV will facilitate the production and
broadcast the virtual event. Depending upon public health data and guidelines
at that time, some elements of Illuminate Thanksgiving, such as the Procession
of Lights, may be held as a limited and appropriately distanced event.
In 2021:

Ceremony, April 23, 2021: This ceremony will be held with visiting

walk, originally scheduled for August of 2020, will be moved to May, 2021.
