Let Freedom Sing! Celebrating 250 years of America

Community Concert to Celebrate 250 Years of America Brings Local Voices Together.

Community members, local performers, and civic organizations will come together for a special community concert celebrating the 250^th anniversary of America. The event will honor the nation’s history, culture, and spirit through music, storytelling, and song. This performance is produced entirely by members of the community.

“This celebration is about bringing people together through music and community pride,” said Robert Faller, Averitt Center for the Arts Executive Director. “The 250^th anniversary of America is a historic milestone, and we wanted this event to be created by the people who make our community special every day” said by Bobby Godwin, Commander, The American Legion Post 90.

The program will include patriotic favorites, contemporary American music, tributes to military service members, and performances highlighting the cultural traditions that have shaped the nation over the past 250 years. The concert is free to the public and welcomes attendees of all ages. Organizers hope the event will inspire unity, reflection, and celebration as communities across the country mark this historic anniversary.

Attendees are encouraged to arrive early and enjoy a $10 chicken plate dinner before the concert begins. Proceeds from the meal fundraiser will benefit the American Legion Dexter Allen Post 90 and support its ongoing service to local Veterans and the community.

This event is being produced in partnership between the American Legion Dexter Allen Post 90, VFW Post 10825, and the Averitt Center for the Arts.
