Suggested Family Activity 🎆 A Capitol Fourth
Each year for the Fourth of July, PBS hosts “A Capitol Fourth”, a concert featuring live musical performances. This year’s concert will be hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and will contain a lineup of performers from pop, country, R&B, classical, and Broadway. Expect to see Fantasia, Smokey Robinson, Fitz and Noelle from Fitz and the Tantrums, Chloe Flower, Sheila E., Darren Criss, and more! The National Symphony Orchestra will accompany many of the artists. The United States Army Band, the U. S. Army Herald Trumpets, and The Choral Arts Society of Washington are also among the performers.
In addition to being broadcast on local PBS stations, the concert can also be viewed live on their website at PBS.org. The concert will be recorded and made available on their website for an additional two weeks after the performance. If you want to host your own Watch Party, or just need ideas for how to celebrate the day, the PBS website has lots of patriotic recipe ideas, game and activity suggestions, DIY decoration tips, and a pre-show party playlist.
