Salute to America

As part of a tradition in these parts, the Blossom Festival Band plays a special Salute to America concert tonight at Blossom. Savor a picnic on the lawn or at a picnic table, and then settle in to enjoy a mix of patriotic Sousa marches, Broadway favorites, an Armed Forces salute, and more. The concert begins at 8 p.m. and concludes with the rousing "1812 Overture" and fireworks. It all happens again tomorrow night. Consult the Cleveland Orchestra website for ticket prices. (Jeff Niesel)
