Our event will begin in Continental Square (1 E Market St, York, PA 17401) with a procession down Market Street to the Colonial Complex and ending at the History Center for brief remarks, a pop up display of Lafayette related artifacts and light refreshments. Come dressed for the weather and ready to hear from Lafayette during a recreation of his 1825 toast. 

 Accompanied by the Central York Middle School Fife and Drums and in partnership with the American Friends of Lafayette, the Daughters of the American Revolution and the York County History Center.

The pop up display highlights the important stories of Lafayette’s life and legacy including his involvement in the American Revolution and the Franco-American Alliance. This display was designed in part by the Bicentennial of Lafayette’s Farewell Tour and brought to us by the American Friends of Lafayette. We hope you enjoy!
