Celebrate America 250 in the Heart of Woodstock

As our country prepares to commemorate its 250th anniversary, Woodstock is celebrating in the way we do best: by bringing people together.

This special concert is part of Woodstock Celebrates America 250, a series of local events honoring the spirit of Independence Day and the communities that help define the American story. Before the fireworks, the parade, and the full July 4 celebration, join us on July 3 for a beautiful evening of live orchestral music under the open sky.

Set against the backdrop of Downtown Woodstock, this concert will be a chance to pause, reflect, celebrate, and enjoy the shared experience of music with family, friends, and neighbors.
