The Wawa Welcome America festival finished up with fireworks on the Fourth of July, preceded by a parade, concerts and a week of free citywide events celebrating America’s birthday.

The Independence Day celebrations continued with a dazzling fireworks display choreographed to a custom patriotic soundtrack created and performed by the United States Army Field Band. This is the first time in Welcome America history that the United States Army Field Band will perform live on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art as the fireworks light up the sky on July 4, 2019.
