NO KINGS DAY March & Rally
Saturday, March 28 | Marches start at 11:00
Get ready to march! Get ready to rally! We're planning two marches - one from the South End and one from the Old North End. Signs, drums and joy! They will both meet up at City Hall Park at 12:30 PM for a brief rally with music and drumming. Stay tuned for more details.
Wanna help? We need marshals to assist marchers along the route. It's fun, makes the march safer, and supports our community. No experience necessary - we will train you! Email: QCVIMarshals@gmail.com
We also need photographers. You don’t have to be a professional. Let us know if you’d like to volunteer. queencityphotovolunteers@gmail.com
Drum Making for Kids (and Grown-Ups!)
Sunday, March 15 | 1:00–2:30 PM
Queen City Brewery | 703 Pine Street, Burlington
Join us for a great way to get ready for No Kings Day. We'll be making noise together and crafting our own drums! Special guest Michel from the Resistance Drummers will give us a short, fun drum lesson! Bring your own bucket (smaller buckets work best for kids). We’ll supply the rest of the materials. Come ready to create, play, and have fun!
