Nothing beats the breezy appeal of dusk on the Rez as favorite melodies drift over the scene and waters lap the shoreline at Old Trace Park. The tradition continues with a new mix of movie, TV, Broadway and songbook standards to serenade families, friends, dates and more who wouldn’t miss this annual treat. Picnics, takeout or food truck fare make an evening of it, and the fireworks finale unites the crowd with a swell of patriotic pride climaxing a salute to 250 years of America!
Gates open at 5:30 PM; music begins at 7:30 PM.
