Experience a masterful musical performance amidst 300 years of American history at Salute to America in Greenfield Village. For over 30 years, The Henry Ford and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra have created an unforgettable Fourth of July concert. The village features food trucks, a historic 1913 carousel, presenters in period clothing, and musical ensembles throughout. With seven historic districts to explore, guests can enjoy choral singing, ragtime, blues, jazz, and more. At sunset, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, led by guest conductor Lawrence Loh, delivers a triumphant performance featuring Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture,” cannon fire, and a fireworks finale.
