Patriotic Pops

OVERVIEW

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Deer Valley® Resort, this star-spangled celebration featuring Broadway star Nikki Renée Daniels (Once Upon a Mattress, Company, The Book of Mormon) brings the very best of American music to the mountains. From beloved classics to rousing marches, our extraordinary musicians (some of the best in the country!) will deliver a dynamic performance filled with the energy, spirit, and pride of a nation.

Whether it’s the thrill of a brass fanfare, the nostalgia of a heartfelt melody, or the triumphant beat of a Sousa march, this concert is sure to ignite patriotic joy. So, the evening before Independence Day, dust off the picnic blanket, take in the fresh mountain air, and get ready to bake that pie, fly that flag, and celebrate America’s birthday.
