Symphony Under the Stars is going big for America250!
This year’s annual celebration brings an expanded lineup of live performers together with the Lake Norman Philharmonic for an unforgettable evening of music under the stars. Enjoy performances throughout the evening while taking advantage of food trucks and beverage vendors on site. Come early, grab dinner and a drink, and find your spot on the lawn.
Then, as the music comes to a close, look to the sky for Mooresville’s first-ever drone show! The evening will culminate with an incredible America250 Drone Show, featuring hundreds of illuminated drones taking to the sky above Liberty Park to tell the story of America and celebrate 250 years of our nation’s history.
