Keolis announced its sponsorship of the Star-Spangled Spectacular – the nation’s bicentennial celebration of the Star-Spangled Banner.
The company, which is headquartered in Rockville, also released a video in celebration of the event.
“At Keolis, we strive to bring America home safely each and every day through quality transit services,” said Keolis America President and CEO Steve Townsend. “This summer, we’re truly honored to help bring America home to its patriotic roots, right here in our home state, by supporting this important event.”
The Star-Spangled Spectacular is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of visitors to Baltimore’s Inner Harbor on September 10 through 16. The event will feature naval vessels and tall ships from around the world, as well as fireworks, a concert, and air shows – including performances by the Blue Angels.
“There is no place more appropriate to celebrate this bicentennial than the same harbor on which Francis Scott Key wrote The Star-Spangled Banner,” said Townsend. “We are proud and excited to be sponsoring this tribute to such an important part of our nation’s history.”
