BRANSON, Mo. — America’s independence will be celebrated a day early on Friday, July 3, at Branson Landing – the Midwest’s premiere shopping, dining and entertainment destination. Everyone is invited to “Light Up” their Independence Day fun at this 8th annual celebration with an unforgettable evening of music, featuring multiple acts, The Springfield Symphony and a spectacular fireworks display. This year’s Liberty Light Up Concert, presented by Convoy of Hope, will be a five-hour musical extravaganza with six acts taking the stage throughout the evening.
This musical celebration will feature the incredible Sandi Patty, one of the most highly acclaimed performers of our time, known as “The Voice” with five Grammy® Awards, three platinum records, five gold records, and more. Dino Kartsonakis, America’s Piano Showman, with his lovely wife Cheryl Kartsonakis, will also take the stage and joining both of these featured acts, will be The Springfield Symphony Orchestra. Additional acts for the evening include Denver and the Mile High Orchestra, the band that wowed all of America as they made the finale of “The Next Great Band” with their red hot horn section, plus the bands Cor Captis and Cadence. Don’t miss this musical celebration, as it takes place right in front of the Branson Landing Fountains, from 6pm to 11pm!
“Following the live performance by Sandi Patty, the night skies will ‘Light Up’ over Lake Taneycomo with an extraordinary fireworks event produced by Gateway Fireworks Displays from St. Louis,” stated Tammy Scholten, Director of Marketing & Entertainment. “We’re very proud that over the last couple of years, Branson Landing’s Liberty Light Up fireworks display has been named a ‘Top Pick of the American Pyrotechnic Association’ and this year’s celebration promises to be just as amazing, featuring a one-of-a-kind, up close, choreographed opening and closing with an awe-inspiring Gateway Fireworks Signature Grand Finale, not soon to be forgotten. Immediately following the Fireworks, guests are invited to stay and enjoy Denver and The Mile High Orchestra – as they take the stage and perform until 11pm,” concluded Scholten.
