STARS & STRIPES SPECTACULAR to Celebrate America 250 With Charlotte Symphony
The Charlotte Symphony will present Stars & Stripes Spectacular, a patriotic concert celebrating America's 250th anniversary in Charlotte.
The Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, Charlotte Knights, and WBT present Charlotte's Stars and Stripes Spectacular, a landmark July 4, 2026 event at Truist Field honoring the 250th anniversary of the United States.
The evening will feature a live symphonic concert by the Charlotte Symphony, led by Music Director Kwamé Ryan, followed by the WBT SkyShow fireworks spectacular.
