This annual event that takes place the weekend after the fourth of July, celebrates the birthday of the US and of the city of Alexandria. Held in Jones Point Park, on the banks of the Potomac, it is a public, family-oriented picnic, complete with birthday cake for all. Featured is a performance by the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kim Allen Kluge. The traditional "1812 Overture" is augmented by real cannon fire. At 9:30pm, the grand finale commences with a fireworks display. Review © 2009, Wcities |
