This is a one day celebration of the 4th of July through popular classical music. The morning program features Sedici Corde, the Denver Brass with Celtic Colorado Pipes & Drums and Rocky Mountain Highland Dancers, and John Erlandson starts off the afternoon, with the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra and Evergreen Chorale setting the mood for your favorite fireworks display in any of the neighboring recreation areas. (There will not be fireworks at Evergreen Lake this year.)

The musicians perform under a large tent provided by the Evergreen Park & Recreation District. Much of the audience join the musicians under canvas, but the crowd overflows onto the surrounding lawn. Food and beverages are supplied by concessionaires, and children's activities are available in the Evergreen Lake House.

The mood of the day and the music is light. Many of the audience attend as a tradition, but the performances are public and inexpensive to draw new people every year.

The objective of this program is to entertain a large cross-section of the community with a lengthy program of a variety of classical and pops music. The unique combination of brass, bagpipes, dancers, and a full orchestra appeals to all ages. The 4th of July date and the popular outdoor venue makes the event even more attractive. As it has for many years, this low cost concert gives unusually broad exposure to music which many of the audience rarely hear.

Come early and bring a chair if you want a place under the big tent or spread your blanket on the lawn. Gates open at 10:00 AM. Shuttle service from Evergreen High School will be provided at no charge. Please no animals. Limited VIP parking will be available at the Evergreen Lake House for $10, space available, first come - first served. Free parking at Evergreen High School. Handicap parking is available at the Lake. Please, no fireworks or pets.
