The Great Lawn Stage on the City’s North Shore will play host to Joe Grushecky and the Houserockers, Billy Price Band, and Let’s Groove Tonight, an Earth, Wind & Fire tribute band.

Programming for this year’s Independence Day celebration will begin at 4 p.m. and also include a C-17 flyover, interactive military display, hot air balloon, an all-new sensory-inclusive area and children’s activities featuring face painting and caricatures, with live performances on each stage throughout the day before fireworks at 9:35 p.m. conclude the evening.
