The Clarks to headline Pittsburgh Independence Day Celebration

A new stage location on Liberty Avenue will feature Byron Nash & Jacquea Mae of the group Nash.v.ill and Jay Constable. The Great Lawn Stage on the City’s North Shore will host Joe Grushecky & the Houserockers, Billy Price Band, and Let’s Groove Tonight, an Earth, Wind & Fire tribute band.

Festivities begin at 4 p.m. and include a C-17 flyover, interactive military display, hot air balloon, an all-new sensory-inclusive area and children’s activities featuring face painting and caricatures, with live performances on each stage throughout the day before fireworks at 9:35 p.m. conclude the evening.
