The event will take place Sunday from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Bush-Holley Historic Site in Cos Cob.
Re-enactors from the Fifth Connecticut Regiment will demonstrate camp life at the time of the American Revolution and march, fire muskets, and display uniforms, flags, crafts and weapons from the period.
