Details

The Jay Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park hosts the Independence Day Salute within the Grant Park Music Festival. The performance by Grant Park Orchestra features conductor Christopher Bell vocalist Katelyn Lee and trumpet David Gordon. Two music sessions full of patriotic tunes occur from 4:30 to 6 pm and from 6:30 to 8 pm.
