This free Independence Eve spectacular features the Houston Symphony in a selection of patriotic favorites. Led by principal Pops conductor Michael Krajewski, the Symphony performs a variety of American classics, sing-alongs, and of course, Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture complete with cannons from the hill.

This is a ticketed event for the covered seating area. Free tickets are available (four per person over age 16 while they last) at the Miller Outdoor Theatre box office the day of the performance between the hours of 10:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. If tickets remain after 1 p.m., the box office will re-open one hour before the show to distribute the remaining tickets. Seating on the hill is always open.
