About the Performance

You are invited to celebrate Independence Day with a free concert at the Hunter Amphitheater behind the Pensacola Blue Wahoos Stadium! Bring your chairs and blankets, and enjoy this family-friendly performance featuring patriotic favorites, an Armed Forces Salute and more.

The festivities will begin at 7:30 p.m., when the United States Marine Corps will present the colors followed by the National Anthem and a flyover. The concert will wrap up just before the Pensacola’s 4th of July fireworks presented by the Greater Pensacola Chamber and Pensacola Young Professionals begin at 9 p.m.
