Celebrate America's Birthday with the U.S. Army TRADOC Band, from Fort Eustis, providing stirring patriotic sounds. Following the concert, fireworks by Pyrotechnico will illuminate the dark sky after sunset.

Parks, Recreation and Tourism also brings you the best in children's activities and family entertainment: face painting, a 3-years-and-under play area, giant lawn games, inflatables and more.

The Chesapeake Public Art Committee will be on hand spreading awareness and taking donations for the Chesapeake 9/11 Memorial, along with the Fine Arts Commission’s fundraising arm – ART’S ALIVE!, with activities for kids.

A variety of "food truck" concessions will be available for an evening picnic. Bring your own chairs or blanket. (Pop-up tents not permitted!)
