The 'Old Fort MacArthur Days' is an annual fundraiser
that supports the Fort MacArthur Museum, located
in
beautiful Angel Gate Park, 3601 South Gaffey Street,
in the Los Angeles harbor city of San Pedro, in the
County
of Los Angeles, in the State of California.
The event is held on the weekend following the Fourth of July holiday. The various organizations and groups that
support the event usually arrive beginning on Friday afternoon, or early Saturday morning. The program itself begins
on Saturday at 1000, with the Flag raising ceremony beginning at 1015. The first activity for the event is the Parade
of Troops, which is held on the main battlefield area. Then the event continues with the different venues throughout
the museum's ground. The Flag lowering takes place at 1545 (3:45 PM) and the program ends at 1600 (4 PM).
On Sunday the program begins at 1000, again with the Flag raising ceremony at 1015. The first activity on Sunday
