“I am not just saying this because it’s the first Independence Day Celebration under my reign BUT I know it’s going to be the best one yet. Our role as a community center is not one we take lightly. I have a fantastic group of colleagues working with me to ensure we are offering a memorable experience to everyone who attends. We added more entertainment, more food and beverage, and more kid-friendly activities in hopes to have something fun for everyone this year. I know I speak for the whole Stormers team when I say, I hope to see you there!”, said Mary Beth Arnold, Lancaster Stormers Director of Human Resources and Events.

The Lancaster Stormers are working in conjunction with the City of Lancaster, Discover Lancaster, Three Legacies Wrestling and the Lancaster Symphony on this event.

The main event of the night is the performance by the Lancaster Symphony at 8:45 PM which will lead directly into fireworks at 10 PM.

“We're thrilled to join the Lancaster Stormers and the City of Lancaster in celebrating America's 250th birthday. This is what the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra is all about—bringing world-class music to the entire community. From the re-premiere of Michael Wege's powerful Second Founding to Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture launching the fireworks, this will be an unforgettable evening where music meets community in the heart of Lancaster”, said Guy McIntosh, Executive Director of the Lancaster Symphony.
