Celebrate Independence Day with this patriotic concert by the Toledo Concert Band, featuring members of the Toledo Symphony, played on the verandah of the historic Hayes Home. The band will play a variety of music, and Civil War reenactors will fire cannons in sync with Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture.”
Bring a lawn chair or blanket for seating on the lawn. Food trucks will sell lunch and snacks on site. Parking is available on the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums’ grounds, weather-permitting. Overflow parking is available on the street and in ProMedica Memorial Hospital’s parking lots at Buildings A and B, located at 605 Third Ave. Hayes Presidential is a short walk to the east of the hospital parking lots.

The Independence Day Concert is sponsored by Hal & Diane Hawk, Crown Battery and the Ohio Arts Council.
