 Salute to America will return this year to Greenfield Village, from Friday, June 30th through Monday, July 3rd.

I have yet to attend this event, so I'm excited to attend this year! I love the DSO, as well, and they are involved in the concerts, as well as the Jazz Ambassadors of the U.S. Army Field Band.

More info about the event:
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) will return to Greenfield Village at The Henry Ford for Salute to America, a classic family-friendly Independence Day celebration.

Tickets are on sale now for the four nights of performances, which will take place on Friday, June 30, Saturday, July 1, Sunday, July 2, and Monday, July 3. Please see below for ticket information.

DSO Associate Conductor Michelle Merrill will lead the concerts, which take place in the Walnut Grove Historic District of Greenfield Village.

The concert grounds open to patrons starting at 6 p.m. each night. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, picnics, and lawn chairs to enjoy patriotic music, outdoor activities, and summer fun.

*Disclosure: I received a gift card to try the new Polar Pizza at Baskin-Robbins. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own.

My parents and I went to the combined Dunkin' Donuts / Baskin-Robbins near them, in Novi, MI, to split one of the ice cream pizzas.
