Join us for a two-hour live event and telecast in partnership with VA250 in the heart of the city where the idea of a new nation began. The evening begins with an array of performances including music from singer-songwriter Judy Collins, a poetry reading from The Honorable John Charles Thomas, music from the United States Air Force Heritage of America Band, and much more. The evening ends with a dazzling drone show and the Lights of Freedom fireworks extravaganza. This is a celebration you will not want to miss!
