During the musical intermission, the New Jersey Harmony Chorus will perform patriotic songs.
The township said the event will also include a commemorative family photo booth marking the 250th anniversary and a Hillsborough Township tent with Semiquincentennial souvenirs.

Food options at the tent are expected to include pizza, chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, and kettle corn.
"The 250th Anniversary Committee has worked very hard for the past year and a half to provide commemorative entertainment and activities at no cost to taxpayers," added Deputy Mayor and 250th Anniversary Committee Liaison Shawn Lipani. "We are grateful to our team for putting this together and to our generous sponsors for ensuring a star-spangled celebration for Hillsborough."
Residents are encouraged to bring folding chairs and blankets to the field at Auten Road Intermediate School, 281 Auten Road.
