It’s time for Hingham’s 2024 50 Flags Campaign, a wonderful tradition started 13 years ago. Since its inception, the Campaign has grown to over 20,000 flags flying around Hingham over the 2 weeks surrounding July 4th.
The 50 Flags Campaign is the top fundraising source for the 4th of July Parade. The annual cost to put on the parade is approximately $55,000 – including the red, white and blue lines along the parade route. The funds come from fundraisers, sponsorships, and donations. No tax dollars are allocated to the costs of the parade.
80% of the gross proceeds from your 50 Flag rental donations will go towards growing/maintaining our flag inventory and funding the 2025 July 4th parade. The balance will go to the volunteer youth groups that complete the installations and removals. Last year $7,500 went towards the volunteer groups.
The flag installations will be for two weeks, starting the weekend of June 29 & 30th. Removals will be done July 13 & 14. This Campaign is very labor intensive; we rely on volunteers from many of the Hingham High School sports teams: football, soccer, field hockey, track, crew, baseball, tennis, hockey, wrestling and lacrosse. South Shore SNAP, Hingham Youth Football and town citizens also help in the installations and removals.
