A follow-up to our previous post... We attended the July 3rd concert at Long's Park, and all I can say is "Wow!" Not only was the U.S. Army Band as wonderful as ever, but the cannons seemed louder than last year (if that's possible), and the fireworks show lasted 40 minutes, with a 5 minute finale that was the brightest I've ever seen! The last time I was this awed by a fireworks display (and I'm really dating myself now) was in New York Harbor when the tall ships came in for the 1976 Bicentennial.
The estimated attendance at this concert was 35,000 people... reportedly the largest non-athletic event in Pennsylvania each year! So if you missed this Long's Park concert, you should definitely put it on your calendar for next year! And don't forget, these free concerts happen every Sunday at 7:30 PM, June through August, with a wide variety of musical performances. The Apple Bin Inn is just 15 minutes from the concert amphitheater, so come spend the weekend with us, and enjoy all that Lancaster County has to offer :-)
