The Parks and Recreation Department and New Mexico State University (NMSU) are teaming up to host the City's annual Fourth of July Celebration Concert and Fireworks display at the Pat and Lou Sisbarro Community Park, 3205 Arrowhead Drive, on the NMSU campus. The Black Jacket Symphony will make its Las Cruces debut performing "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack, and Prince's "Purple Rain," for this year's July 4th concert.

Known for their incredible live recreations, the Black Jacket Symphony will open with a performance of the iconic soundtrack "Saturday Night Fever" live in its entirety, capturing the essence of this disco-era masterpiece. They will follow this up with Princes "Purple Rain" live, note for note, sound for sound, plus a full set of the legendary artist's greatest hits. If you are a fan of reliving classic albums from start to finish, this concert experience is unlike any other.

Over the past fourteen years, this group of handpicked musicians has performed over 40 classic rock albums, bringing an incredible night of entertainment to over a million music lovers across the U.S.

Black Jacket Symphony's lineup changes based upon the album being performed, and no sonic detail is overlooked, with the musicians doing whatever it takes to reproduce the album. It's a full night of rock and roll magic and a visual spectacle.

The concert will begin at 6 p.m. Sunday, July 4th followed by the annual fireworks display taking place around 9:45 p.m.
