Stars & Stripes Explosion July 4, 2009

Multiple performance venues at the Virginia Beach oceanfront attract thousands of out-of-town visitors and local residents for a “Star-Spangled” salute to this great country of ours! Musical acts at various stages offer something for everyone with The English Channel, ZoSo: The Ultimate Led Zeppelin Experience, and Revolution (A Tribute to the Beatles), which features spot-on impersonators with costumes and musical instruments authentic to the period.

A stage erected on the beach at 20th Street becomes the focal point for a performance by Symphonicity (the symphony orchestra of Virginia Beach) and the Virginia Beach Chorale. With a program that encompasses patriotic songs, Broadway standards, movie themes, and folk music, nostalgia reigns as the presentation segues into a magical fireworks show that explodes over the oceanfront.

Stars and Stripes Explosion is an unabashed tribute to the ideals, personalities, history, and music of the United States of America.
