Fireworks, DSO Set For The Henry Ford's 'Salute To America'

DEARBORN, MI — Time is running out to purchase cheaper tickets for The Henry Ford’s annual “Salute To America” concert and fireworks show. Ticket prices are reduced until June 18 and then rise by more than 10 percent. No matter the price, it’s a Dearborn event worth putting on your calendar.

Running from June 30 - July 3, Salute To America is a joint concert by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the Jazz Ambassadors of the United States Army Field Band. It’s held in Greenfield Village and features great music with real cannon fire for Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture finale.

The Henry Ford boasts that each performance is “exuberant collection of songs, food and fanfare that is quintessentially American.” Early bird tickets are $25 for general admission non-DSO members while youths ages 3-11 are $15.50 and 2 and under are free. Starting June 19, prices go up to $29 and $19.50, respectively.
