Top bus event is Oklahoma Centennial
The American Bus Association named its top events in the US and Canada.
This year, the Top US Event is the Oklahoma Centennial which takes place though out the year and the state itself.
To celebrate the centennial, the Sooner State has 14 months of more than 400 special events, historic reenactments and heritage experiences planned.
In preparation for the event, communities and organizations across the state are restoring historical sites and creating monuments, fountains, parks, and cultural facilities that reflect local or state history.
The Top Canadian Event is The Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, July 1-8.
The show was created for Queen Elizabeth during the Queen Mother’s 1979 visit to Halifax. Today, more than 2,000 military and non-military performers join together for this family-oriented show featuring pipes and drums, military and civilian bands, historic reenactments, dancers, acrobats, comedians, choirs, military displays and competitions, and a host of innovative acts.
Among the hundred events, this year’s list highlights many events celebrating their own anniversaries, including events like Bellingrath Gardens and Home 75th Anniversary, Theodore, Alabama beginning in January.
In April, Wilmington, North Carolina celebrates the 60th Annual North Carolina Azalea that highlights as much about Southern culture and hospitality as it is about flowers.
Jamestown, Virginia celebrates history in 2007 in May, with America’s 400th Anniversary Week that commemorates the founding of Jamestown in 1607, America’s first permanent English settlement.
The event includes major events, exhibits, educational programs and the opening of new attractions in Jamestown, Williamsburg, Yorktown, and throughout Virginia.
Also in Virginia, as well as Maryland and Delaware is the 400th anniversary of Capt. John Smith’s voyage in May with a 28-foot reproduction of Smith’s shallop and a major traveling exhibit thoughout the states.
