Halifax Resolves Day commemorates April 12, 1776, the day the Fourth Provincial Congress recorded their intent to sever ties with Britain. The resolves were the first official action by an entire colony to call for independence and were adopted unanimously by the 83 delegates assembled at Halifax. 

Prelude to Revolution: Halifax Resolves Days will be held on April 11-12, 2025.  The two-day event will include presentations, colonial music, and educational programming. A wreath-laying ceremony hosted by the NC Society Sons of the American Revolution takes place on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at the Colonial Courthouse Site.  At 2 p.m., at 2:00 p.m., the official Halifax Day Ceremony will take place featuring a guest speaker.  Halifax Resolves Days are part ofA250NC, a multi-year, statewide remembrance of the development of a new country dedicated to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."  Additional programs and activities sponsored by various community groups will take place over the two-day event.
