Hillsborough Public Works crews installed America 250 banners this morning. The new banners are part of the town’s celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Crews will continue to change the banners affixed to utility poles on downtown streets through the rest of the year as Hillsborough observes multiple celebrations and honors Veterans Day in November.

The schedule for changing banners is:

• May 21 to 29 — America 250 banners
• May 29 to June 12 — Pride flag banners to recognize Pride Month
• June 12 to 22 — U.S. and state flag banners to recognize Flag Day and Juneteenth
• June 22 to July 1 — Pride flag banners resumed for Pride Month
• July 1 to Nov. 9 — America 250 banners
• Nov. 9 — U.S. and state flag banners to recognize Veterans Day, followed by holiday wreaths 

The Hillsborough Board of Commissioners observes and honors many days throughout the year by issuing proclamations. See the town’s Proclamations and Resolutions page for details.
