Celebrate Independence Day at the first-ever Grant Park Orchestra 4th of July Concert at Pritzker Pavilion! Usually it is on the 3rd of July at Petrillo Band Shell in Grant Park, but this year they are having the Army Band instead on the 3rd so the orchestra is playing on the 4th at Pritzker Pavilion, 1:30 showtime. Should be a great concert.

This is a very patriotic concert--all the traditional favorites and a tap dancer too! Selections include The Star Spangled Banner, Stars and Stripes Forever, 1812 Overture, Battle Hymn of the Republic, America the Beautiful, Fanfare for the Common Man, and others. We'll be sitting on the lawn for this one--what's the 4th without a traditional picnic? Meet outside Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington St. (Washington St. side), at 11:30, we will depart for the Pavilion at 11:45. Bring a picnic and a blanket and/or chair to sit on. There is also a cafe near the Pavilion entrance. If you arrive after 11:45, go straight to the Pavilion lawn and look for a red blanket, but you maximize the fun if you get there on time. Call [masked] if you can't find us, are running late, or have questions. I will turn off my phone when the show starts at 1:30. Hope to see you there!
