Multiple live performances on oceanfront stages will attract thousands of visitors and residents of Virginia Beach to a “star-spangled” salute to this great country of ours at Stars & Stripes Explosion on Monday, July 4, 2016. Scheduled entertainment offers something for everyone: patriotic and classical to Motown, a musical tribute dedicated to Billy Joel, and world-class magic performed by an internationally-recognized illusionist!
From 8:00pm-9:30pm, a stage erected right on the beach at 20th Street will become the focal point for performances featuring patriotic, Broadway, and classical selections.
The show will segue into a spectacular fireworks show at 9:30pm that promises to explode over the ocean in a burst of colors and patterns!
All concerts are free and open to the public.
