The Rhythms on Rittenhouse concert will feature performances from the city�s best opera, jazz and pop artists The biggest and all new Fourth of July parade starts at 11am as the Independence Day ceremony closes, and will be the first parade to travel along the Historic District in 18 years. Onlookers can pitch up and watch 3,000 marchers and performers provide a stunning display of American History and Freedom.
