The annual George Washington Birthday Parade in Old Town went off without a hitch on Monday, Feb. 18! After a weekend of activity that included the George Washington Birthnight Ball at Gadsby’s Tavern and more than a dozen historically themed events, President’s Day itself began off with a scavenger hunt, the  laying of wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Revolutionary Soldier at the Old Presbyterian Meeting House and finished with the grande finale – the parade itself, which is the oldest George Washington birthday parade in the country.
