Join us in the fall for our 2020 Lantern Ceremony!

Honor the American spirit and support Old North Church & Historic Site at the 2020 Lantern Ceremony! In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and in support of public health and safety, Old North Church & Historic Site will postpone our annual celebration to the fall. We are looking forward to coming together at that time to commemorate the night the two lanterns were held in our steeple launching the American Revolution. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience, The Lantern Ceremony brings together community leaders, history lovers, neighbors, and visitors from across the globe for an evening filled with pageantry and inspiration. This uplifting and enduring event supports the advancement of Old North's mission and celebrates our legacy of courage, liberty, and civic engagement.

Save your seat! Ceremony admission starts at $60 per ticket.
Single tickets for ceremony admission are all "general admission" or open seating, and groups are not guaranteed to be seated together.

Light bites and beverages are served.
