Join us as we celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday with a commemorative concert by the Bay Atlantic Symphony. There is no better place to mark this extraordinary milestone than the storied Congress Hall Grand Lawn, overlooking the Atlantic. Begin the evening with a beautifully prepared three‑course, family‑style summer supper, followed by an open‑air performance by the Bay Atlantic Symphony celebrating the American spirit.
Our grand Fourth of July Celebration returns. For over 200 summers, we've had the honor to host this beloved tradition, year after year.
Celebrate Independence Week at Congress Hall with a full lineup of complimentary guest activities from sunrise to starlight. Start your day with Beach Boot Camp and Yoga, then dive into family fun with train and carousel rides, sandcastle contests, crafts, games, and treasure hunts. Each day brings new adventures—from beekeeping and falconry at Beach Plum Farm to bubbles on the Grand Lawn and bingo in the Ballroom—plus can’t-miss highlights like the Fourth of July parade and fireworks at dusk on Independence Day. With live entertainment, history tours, dive-in movies, and festive lawn events all week long, it’s nonstop summer magic by the sea.
