Levin Papantonio is proud to announce the return of Symphony Sparks & Stars, the Gulf Coast’s premier Independence Day celebration, presented by Senior Partner Peter Mougey.
Now in its 10th year, this beloved community tradition will take place on Saturday, July 4, 2026, at the Hunter Amphitheater behind Blue Wahoo’s Stadium in downtown Pensacola. This year’s event is especially meaningful as we celebrate our country’s 250th anniversary, honoring 250 years of freedom, service, sacrifice, and the enduring American spirit.
This free, family-friendly event brings together music, patriotism, and community spirit for an unforgettable evening along Pensacola Bay. The Pensacola Symphony Orchestra will perform a specially curated program featuring patriotic favorites and stirring musical tributes celebrating America’s heritage and honoring those who have served our country.
Honoring America and Those Who Serve
The evening will begin with a Presentation of Colors by the United States Marine Corps, followed by the National Anthem and a thrilling flyover by United States Navy aircraft across Pensacola Bay.
The Pensacola Symphony Orchestra will then take the stage, performing a powerful concert featuring military service songs from each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, recognizing and celebrating the sacrifices of our nation’s servicemen and women.
This year’s celebration will also feature a special performance by the renowned McGuire’s Pipe Band, whose stirring blend of traditional Celtic music and patriotic favorites has become a cherished part of Pensacola’s cultural landscape.
The celebration will conclude with the annual Pensacola fireworks show, known as the largest fireworks display on the Gulf Coast, illuminating the night sky in a stunning patriotic finale.
“Symphony Sparks & Stars embodies the rich tradition of patriotism that is unique to our Pensacola community,” said Peter Mougey, Senior Partner at Levin Papantonio. “For the last decade, it’s been a distinct honor to bring forth this once-a-year spectacle.”
