Break out the lawn chairs, dust off your best red-white-and-blue, and get ready to celebrate, because this July 4th is unlike any other. And this isn't just any birthday, America is turning 250! A quarter of a millennium ago, a bold group of patriots signed the Declaration of Independence and changed the course of history. This once-in-a-generation milestone, known as "America 250," deserves a celebration worthy of the occasion. From village parades to a patriotic drone light show, Barnstable is ready to party, and we want you there.
