Sunrise & the Spirit of ’76 | CCHS

Saturday, July 4, 2026, from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m., we invite you to gather for Sunrise & the Spirit of ’76, a special program and reception honoring the ideals, sacrifices, and stories that shaped our nation.

The morning begins outdoors as guests arrive with the sounds of a traditional Fife and Drum Corps presentation featuring musicians in period inspired attire. Following a welcome and a flag ceremony led by Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania, guests will enjoy patriotic music reminiscent of the Revolutionary era.
