The Lancaster Stormers announced they'll host a special America's 250th Birthday celebration on July 3 at Penn Medicine Park.
The event will honor "250 years of American history, pride, and community spirit," the team said in a press release.
The celebration "will bring the community of Lancaster and beyond together for an evening packed with patriotic energy, family-friendly entertainment, bounce houses, a variety of vendors, reenactments, Three Legacies Wrestling, a petting zoo, hot dog and pie eating contest, a pig roast, a car show, and a performance by the Lancaster Symphony," the Stormers said.
The event, which is free to the public, will have patriotic-themed festivities throughout the ballpark and on the entire property. The celebration begins at 5 p.m. and concludes with fireworks at 10 p.m., according to the Stormers.
“I am not just saying this because it’s the first Independence Day Celebration under my reign, but I know it’s going to be the best one yet," said Mary Beth Arnold, Director of Human Resources and Events for the Lancaster Stormers. "Our role as a community center is not one we take lightly. I have a fantastic group of colleagues working with me to ensure we are offering a memorable experience to everyone who attends. We added more entertainment, more food and beverage, and more kid-friendly activities in hopes to have something fun for everyone this year. I know I speak for the whole Stormers team when I say, I hope to see you there!”
The team said it working in conjunction with the City of Lancaster, Discover Lancaster, Three Legacies Wrestling and the Lancaster Symphony to organize the event.
The main event of the night is the performance by the Lancaster Symphony at 8:45 p.m., which will lead directly into fireworks at 10.
“We're thrilled to join the Lancaster Stormers and the City of Lancaster in celebrating America's 250th birthday," said Guy McIntosh, Executive Director of the Lancaster Symphony. "This is what the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra is all about—bringing world-class music to the entire community. From the re-premiere of Michael Wege's powerful Second Founding to Tchaikovsky's1812 Overture launching the fireworks, this will be an unforgettable evening where music meets community in the heart of Lancaster."
Registration for the apple pie and hot dog eating contests will go live in May, the team said.
