This long weekend, we celebrate the birth of our nation with Fourth of July celebrations all over the city (see them here). Meanwhile, several movie nights await, including fun on the rooftop and a farmers market screening. The beloved film Frozen gets the stage treatment, while a funk and soul concert gets down. Plus, more patriotic pomp comes courtesy of two rousing area symphonies.

Enjoy, stay cool and safe, and here's to our great nation. These are your best bets for Fourth of July weekend.
