Berks County to Celebrate Community and Country at Star-Spangled Spectacular

Berks County to Celebrate Community and Country at Star-Spangled Spectacular

From Reading Symphony Orchestra

The America250PA Berks County Committee, in partnership with the Reading Symphony Orchestra, local businesses, organizations, and community partners, is proud to present the Star-Spangled Spectacular Berks County on Saturday, July 4, at the Berks County Fair Grounds, 1216 Hilltop Road, Leesport. Gates open at noon, and the event starts at 2 p.m.

Created as part of the lead-up to America’s 250th anniversary, the Star-Spangled Spectacular Berks County will showcase the spirit of community through live music, local food truck vendors, family-friendly activities and interactive experiences, a patriotic concert by the Reading Symphony Orchestra, and a spectacular fireworks display around 9:30 p.m.

This free-to-the-community event is designed to welcome residents of all ages and provide an opportunity for families, friends, and neighbors to gather and celebrate together.

In the spirit of service and community, attendees are encouraged to bring a nonperishable food item to support Helping Harvest, helping extend the celebration’s impact to neighbors in need throughout Berks County.

The Star-Spangled Spectacular is made possible through the support of Berks County businesses, organizations, volunteers, and community sponsors who are helping bring this celebration to life.

“This event is about celebrating not only our nation’s history, but also the strength and spirit of our local community,” said Charles Bock, Owner of Stereo Barn and Reading Symphony Orchestra Board President. “The Star-Spangled Spectacular is being built through collaboration, and we’re proud to offer a free event that brings people together in a meaningful way.”

In addition to entertainment and festivities, the event will feature opportunities for local nonprofits, schools, and community groups to participate and engage attendees in family-friendly activities.
