A more established tradition, the concert from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol marks its 44th year, with Alfonso Ribeiro returning as host, welcoming a powerhouse lineup including Smokey Robinson, Fantasia, Sheila E., Sister Sledge, Darren Criss and more. Gold medal Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East leads a tribute to Team USA, with the National Symphony Orchestra delivering a 40th-anniversary performance of John Williams’ “Olympic Fanfare,” written for the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles. Also marking a milestone, Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” will be performed by Chloe Flower on its centennial. And no Capital Fourth would be complete without fireworks over the National Mall while the symphony plays the “1812 Overture” with cannon fire.
