About The Lineup:
The Military Salute kicks off the event at 6 p.m. with the Posting of the Colors. This will be followed up with a message from the Fort Eisenhower Command, a Veteran’s Procession, and the National Anthem.
The Party Crashers are a high energy, West Coast party band. They perform a wide variety of music from various genres and decades that people of all ages will enjoy.
Verge Aero is a group from Pennsylvania that choreographs hundreds of illuminated drones in a fascinating display. This group also won Simon’s golden buzzer on America’s Got Talent.
The Extreme Fireworks Display is unlike anything else you’ll see in the CSRA. You will not only see it, but you’ll feel it. You’ll want to bring eye protection and ear protection. It’s one of the South’s largest fireworks shows.
The After Party will start after the fireworks. At this time, the Party Crashers will return to the stage for another hour to host a dance party for those waiting out the post-firework traffic.
