โ๏ธ RAAF NO. 2 SQUADRON โ FREEDOM OF ENTRY TO MAITLAND
On Saturday 12 September, Maitland will witness a rare and historic military tradition as around 65 personnel from RAAF No. 2 Squadron exercise their Freedom of Entry to the City of Maitland.
The ceremony begins at 10am at The Levee Shared Zone, with the Squadron parading along High Street towards Maitland Town Hall.
A highlight will be the traditional challenge ceremony near the corner of High and Hunter Streets, before the Squadron is formally welcomed to continue.
Freedom of Entry is a centuries-old tradition symbolising the trust, friendship and mutual respect between a city and a military unit. Maitland first granted this honour to No. 2 Squadron in 2016, recognising its proud service and strong connection with our region.
๐ฆ๐บ Come into Maitland, line High Street and witness this impressive and rarely seen ceremonial tradition.
