4th of July Concert

Fantastic news! A cappella group Mosaic will be performing at the Star Spangled Spectacular on July 4 at Springs Preserve. Mosaic adds a new dimension to Star Spangled Spectacular.

The Las Vegas Philharmonic's traditional flag-waving July 4th Star Spangled Spectacular will toot its horns this year at the Springs Preserve. For the past decade, the concert was held at the Hills Park in Summerlin. Fittingly, this year the place where Las Vegas began will be the setting for celebrating America's birth. The event is hosted by Springs Preserve. The performance in the outdoor amphitheater begins at 8 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m.

After a rousing Star Spangled Banner, the Philharmonic, under the baton of Music Director David Itkin, will swing into our local anthem, Viva Las Vegas. Toe-tapping marches like National Emblem and Washington Post and all-time favorites The Battle Hymn of the Republic and Finale of Tchaikovsky's thundering 1812 Overture set the patriotic beat. Adding Hollywood flair are the overture to “Gypsy” and the march from “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” Once again, the “Armed Forces Salute” will bring the crowd to its feet.

The change of venue also brings a change in program. True to its eco-awareness, Springs Preserve has planned an outdoor light show instead of fireworks to accompany the festive finale.

Three levels of tickets are available: Assigned amphitheater seating is $27.50 per person; grounds passes, which include non-seated access to the concert venue, at $17.50 per person; and VIP Packages, at $82.50 per person, which include a pre-concert VIP reception in the ORIGEN Rotunda and an exclusive tabled seating area in the amphitheater.

Springs Preserve annual pass-holders receive a discount of $7.50 off VIP or reserved amphitheater seating. Children 12 and under receive $7.50 off amphitheater seating or grounds pass (cannot be combined with pass-holder discount). VIP and Amphitheater seat assignments will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis beginning at 6 p.m. on July 4. Please bring your printed ticket with you.
