WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – The town is getting a jump on July 4 with a full day and night of activities on Friday to help celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
 
The three-day holiday weekend begins on Friday at 10 a.m. with a ribbon-cutting at Spring Street’s Images Cinema. The newly renovated movie house will welcome the community to enjoy its new seats and upgraded audio/visual system while watching previews of upcoming films from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
 
At noon, the action shifts to South Williamstown for a full day and night of activities.
 
The Williamstown Historical Museum is hosting a "Family Fun Fest" from noon to 4 with historic tours, music, games, prizes and a reading of the founding documents.
 
The Green Mountain Boys from Vermont are scheduled to do family-friendly drill and musket demonstrations, and the Berkshire Fife and Drum Corps and Flatbed Jazz Band are slated to perform.
 
The day also includes a walking tour of nearby Southlawn Cemetery and a self-guided tour of Williamstown sites that date back to 1776.
 
"Then the action shifts across the street to Waubeeka Golf Links," Select Board member Matthew Neely, a member of the Williamstown 250 organizing committee, told his colleagues at last week’s board meeting.
