Celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with the Idaho Falls Symphony at our annual free Concert in the Park, part of a community-wide Day of the Arts in partnership with the Idaho Falls Arts Council, The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho, and the Artitorium. Throughout the day, families can enjoy a variety of free arts activities, exhibits, performances, and hands-on experiences celebrating creativity across our community.

The evening concert, led by IFS Assistant Conductor Robert Tueller, features a festive program of patriotic favorites, Americana, and beloved orchestral classics under the summer sky. Audiences will enjoy the cinematic excitement of John Williams’ Cowboys Overture, Charles Ives’ spirited Variations on America, the heartfelt beauty of Ashokan Farewell, and favorite selections from Ellington or Gershwin. A special highlight of the evening will be Copland’s stirring Lincoln Portrait, featuring a surprise guest narrator. The concert concludes with Sousa’s iconic Stars and Stripes Forever in a joyful celebration of country, community, and music.

Bring a blanket, gather your friends and family, and join us for this unforgettable day of arts and music celebrating America 250.

This concert is free and open to the public.
