Ring the Bells of Freedom Festival™
-Rekindling the Flame of Liberty-
John Adams stated at the drafting of the Declaration of Independence, "This will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America . . . It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of the continent to the other, from this time forward for evermore."
We believe this statement is also applicable to the signing [September 17, 1787] and celebration of the United States Constitution. For the Constitution is what we did with our freedom.
In 1999, America’s Family Foundation established Ring the Bells of Freedom Festival™ and is held each year during National Constitution Week, September 17-23. The purpose for this Festival is to unite communities, rekindle desires to learn more about our American heritage, rejuvenate expressions of love for this great country, to become knowledgeable of our Constitutional laws, and give thanks to God for the blessings of freedom.
