Ocean Drive Independence Day Celebration Concert

South Beach's Fourth looks a little different than the rest of Miami's. The Miami Beach Classical Music Festival Symphony Orchestra sets up in Lummus Park at 8:30pm for a free outdoor concert of patriotic favorites — Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, the Armed Forces Salute, The Stars and Stripes Forever — performed directly beneath the fireworks as they launch over the Atlantic at 9pm. Feel free to linger after the show, as the orchestra keeps playing through 10:30pm. Conducted by founder and artistic director Michael Rossi, the 50-piece ensemble brings genuine classical chops to one of the most cinematic backdrops in the city. The day also includes an American Made Car Show along Ocean Drive from 9am to 2pm. Bring a blanket or beach chairs and stake your spot early.
