Over the past year, communities have been planning America250 celebrations, with the July 4 observance of Independence Day to be even more spirited than usual.
For those who will be in Los Angeles, California, as the nation celebrates 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, there’s a concert event perfect for the day’s festivities.
On July 4, the city of Los Angeles will host “America’s Block Party benefiting Giving 4th,” which will be headlined by country artist Chris Stapleton.
Chris Stapleton Concert To Celebrate The 4th As Artists Are Dropping Out Of Patriotic Shows Elsewhere
For the past nine years, Chris Stapleton has been on his All-American Road Show Tour, which began in May of 2017.
Further, the artist has a highly celebrated Super Bowl performance of the National Anthem from 2023, contributing to why he’s a perfect fit for a concert like this.
In addition to Stapleton, the band The Smashing Pumpkins will also take the stage, and so will Chaka Khan. Further, Queen Latifah is hosting the event… and, of course, there will be fireworks.
This concert comes as President Donald Trump has had to repeatedly address artists dropping out of performing at the Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C., which runs from June 24 to July 10.
Responding to the artists who dropped out of the Great American State Fair, Trump repeatedly described them as having “no talent.”
Unlike the event Chris Stapleton will be performing at, which is sponsored by America250, the Great American State Fair is put on by an organization called Freedom 250.
Trump’s July 4 celebration in Washington, D.C., dubbed the “Salute To America,” is the centerpiece of Freedom 250’s scheduling for the Independence Day observances, with the event set to break the record as “the largest fireworks display in world history.”
