Celebrate the Fourth of July with a spectacular family-friendly concert at the Live Oak Bank Pavilion, featuring the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra (WSO) and special guests from the Opera House Theatre Company and Thalian Association Community Theatre. Highlights of the evening include guest appearances by Mayor Bill Saffo and County Commissioner Rob Zapple. Additionally, the concert will feature the debut of a new original piece, "Fanfare for the Fourth," composed by local film and TV composers Matthew Morgan and Jose Villanueva. The WSO will also perform some of the duo's popular arrangements of hit songs, such as "Eye of the Tiger" and Taylor Swift's "Enchanted."

Fireworks will start at 9:05 p.m., launched from a barge at the convergence of the Cape Fear and Northeast Cape Fear Rivers, just north of the USS Battleship North Carolina.

To ensure attendees have ample time to reach the Riverwalk for the best fireworks view, WSO’s concert will conclude by 8:45 p.m.

“The 4th of July in Wilmington is a time-honored tradition that brings tens of thousands of people to downtown Wilmington. This year, we continue the tradition with the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra as featured entertainment."
- Mayor Bill Saffo

“An annual 4th of July Pops concert is a cornerstone for a fourth of July celebration, and we are excited to be a part of this new tradition for our region. Symphony Pops concerts add so much to a community by bringing people and families together to enjoy music, introduce people of all ages to a symphony orchestra and celebrate in a city we are proud to call home. We are so thankful for the City of Wilmington’s support and the support from our sponsors — our community has a new beloved tradition to enjoy on the fourth of July because of YOU!"
- Liz Scanlon, Wilmington Symphony Orchestra Executive Director
