4th of July Concert & Fireworks EXTRAVAGANZA in Buffalo Grove with the Buffalo Grove Symphonic Band

The anniversary of independence for our great Nation is Friday, and it's a time for Americans to gather together, reflect, and SEND EXPLOSIVES DIRECTLY INTO THE ATMOSPHERE! 

 The Fireworks Display Co-sponsored by the Village and Siemens at 9:15 will be preceded by a 2-hour concert by the 70-member Symphonic Band sponsored by the Village's Rotary. Now going on thirteen years of July fourth tradition, this dedicated group of musicians will be onsite in full force at 6 pm at the Rotary Green (behind Town Center and the Post Office) for a 7 pm performance of all American music celebrating the holiday with Marches, Music from Broadway, Disney, Warner Brothers Cartoons, and much more. 

Of course we will be honoring all branches of the Military AND kids will get an opportunity to conduct the Band. 

As a matter of tradition and pride we will lead into the Fireworks with the 1812 Overture, America, and Stars and Stripes Forever. 

All of this - FOR FREE!! 

We usually get 2000-3000 attendees so bring your blankets and lawn chairs and a picnic basket early, stake out a place, and start your Independence Day celebration while it's light with a wonderful old-fashioned concert in the park.

This concert will be brought to you by the 70 talented and scholorly members of the Buffalo Grove Symphonic Band and the Buffalo Grove Rotary for your family's entertainment. We hope to see you there!!!
