Pack a picnic, bring a lawn chair or blanket, and try to get there early for this amazing night of music. The award-winning Fifes and Drums of York Town will kick things off at 6 p.m. and blue ribbons will be awarded to the most creative picnic set-ups prior to the event.

This free concert is presented by the Celebrate Yorktown Committee of the Yorktown Foundation with generous support from York County, York County Arts Commission, and the Virginia Commission for the Arts, as well as community contributors from organizations, businesses, and individuals. The volunteer-run Celebrate Yorktown Committee works diligently to raise the money needed to cover the costs of this special evening.

Because this performance draws such a large crowd, visitors are encouraged to keep in mind the following important traffic reminders:

• Parking is available in the two-level parking terrace on Water Street, with handicapped parking located on the lower level. 
• Additional parking can be found at York Hall, County Administration Building, York County Courts & Office Complex, and other designated lots throughout town. For this evening only, guests may also park at the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown beginning at 5 p.m.  
• To ease the flow of traffic, no loading of any equipment, chairs, coolers, etc. into vehicles will be permitted during or at the conclusion of the concert at the corners of Water and Ballard Streets and Water and Buckner Streets. 
• The Yorktown Trolley will be unavailable during and after the concert. Service that evening ends at 5:30 p.m.
