"Flags Over Portsmouth" Film Marathon
Portsmouth Public Library, Spring 2008
In June 1981, a Japanese television crew filmed a mini-series about the Portsmouth Peace Treaty, here in Portsmouth. Many citizens took part as "extras' -- including schoolchildren. At the time, Superintendent Timothy Monahan met with elementary school principals and asked them to send messages home to parents, inviting children to participate in the re-enactment of the 1905 Welcoming Parade. The Portsmouth Peace Treaty Forum is looking for people who may have participated in the production and will schedule a showing of the film.
2nd Annual Portsmouth Peace Treaty Commemorative Concert: "Peace & The Presidency: Music for George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt"
Seacoast Wind Ensemble, The Music Hall, Portsmouth www.themusichall.org, May 17, 2008
The Seacoast Wind Ensemble presents the Second Annual Portsmouth Peace Treaty Commemorative Concert, “Peace & The Presidency: Music for George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.” This program of wide-ranging music for the Election Year features Aaron Copland's "A Lincoln Portrait" with guest narrator, Rev. Robert H. Thompson, Chaplain of Phillips Exeter Academy. The annual program bythe Seacoast Wind Ensemble is organized and conducted by Music Director Richard C. Spicer. The Portsmouth Peace Treaty is an important piece of history as the foundation for Theodore Roosevelt’s Nobel Peace Prize and as an early demonstration that the ordinary American citizen can make a difference. This annual commemorative concert helps trace that story from a musical perspective.

Every September, Portsmouth remembers two grand city traditions: a salute to Labor, particularly the workers of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard who form a critical part of the Seacoast economy, and the tradition of commemorating the Portsmouth Peace Treaty with a public celebration in September, the month the Treaty was signed. The Parade will assemble at the Parrot Avenue Municipal Parking Lot and begin at 2 pm. The Parade route winds through downtown

Theodore Roosevelt Nobel Peace Prize Commemoration
Wentworth By the Sea Hotel, December 2008 In December 2007, the Portsmouth Peace Treaty Forum hosted Dennis Ross, the author of Statecraft and Middle East diplomat from the Clinton and George HW Bush administrations. Each year, the Forum invites a diplomat/scholar, often one with a significant new book on the issues of diplomacy and statecraft, to speak on those topics “in the spirit of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty.” In December 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt won the Nobel Peace Prize for diplomacy that produced the Treaty of Portsmouth. This annual event is timed to commemorate the awarding of TR’s Nobel.
