Pilgrim Progress, Fridays in August – Wicked Local Plymouth

The Pilgrim Progress will take place on Fridays through August and on Thanksgiving Day.

The Pilgrim Progress will take place at 6 p.m. on Fridays, Aug. 4, 11, 18 and 25 and at 10 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 23.

This reenactment of the Pilgrims Sabbath procession to worship begins at the Mayflower Society House. Costumed participants, many of whom are from Plymouth and the surrounding communities, as well as visitors to the area, represent the 51 survivors of the first harsh winter of 1621. They will assemble to the beat of a drum. The Progress will proceed along the waterfront, up Leyden Street to the site of the first fort meetinghouse on Burial Hill, where the Pilgrims met for worship. The Psalms sung are taken from The Book of Psalms by Henry Ainsworth, which was used by the Pilgrims in Holland and in Plymouth.

The passages read by Elder Brewster are usually from Governor Bradfords Of Plymouth Plantation or other Pilgrim sources. After the brief worship service, the march will continue through town on Main Street, ending at the Mayflower Society House on North Street.

Plymouth Rock Foundation and The General Society of Mayflower Descendants sponsor Pilgrim Progress. The event is also funded in part by the Town of Plymouth Promotions Fund.
