Rockport – Reading of Declaration of Independence

Start your Fourth of July with one of Rockport’s most cherished traditions! Join the Rockport Rotary Club at Dock Square for the annual public reading of the Declaration of Independence, a patriotic gathering that officially kicks off the town’s Independence Day celebrations.
