York’s biggest July 4 party will be better than ever in 2023 thanks to the York Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. The city’s renowned musicians will present a free patriotic concert and sing-along after the Revolution’s matchup against the rival Dirty Birds.

Gates to the ballpark will open for free after the Revolution game that evening, so that the general public may enjoy the one-hour symphony and chorus performance. Followed by a fireworks display!

The York Symphony performance is presented by Powder Mill Foundation.
