Say organizers,” We are inviting you to be a part of our special event, the New Hope Liberty Festival. The 3-day weekend will honor all of those who gave their lives for our country and our freedoms. That journey of courage began in New Hope and Lambertville in 1778. You are part of that great history now. We would be honored by your attendance at our parade on June 21 beginning at 10:30 a.m. at St. Martin’s Parish in NewHope and ending at the South end of Main Street.”
Captain Bob Gerenser is expected to lead the parade.
