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. 

Halifax Resolves Day will be held on April 12, 2023.  The day will include presentations, colonial music, and educational programming. The day begins with School Group Activities for Halifax County Fourth Graders.  A wreath-laying ceremony hosted by the NC Society Sons of the American Revolution takes place at 10:30 a.m. At 1 p.m., a Ribbon Cutting for the new Life and Times of William R. Davie exhibit will take place at the Davie House.  Then, at 2:00 p.m., the official Halifax Day Ceremony will take place featuring a guest speaker.  The ceremony will be followed by a reception. Halifax Day begins the official kickoff of A250NC, a multi-year, statewide remembrance of the development of a new country dedicated to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
