Independence Day Celebration

Saturday July 6th, 2024

7:30 PM

There’s no better way to celebrate America’s independence than with the Army’s oldest band—back at the iconic Trophy Point Amphitheater! Grab a blanket, bring a picnic, and enjoy a wide variety of music ranging from Americana and Broadway to today’s popular hits, and everything in between, performed by the world-class Soldier-musicians of the West Point Band. As always, this performance concludes with a spectacular fireworks display over the Hudson River. This event will be livestreamed on YouTube for those unable to attend in person.
