The Town of Orange may be small in population, but over the years it has gained the reputation for bringing in top-notch bands and one of the best holiday fireworks displays in the New Haven County.

For this year’s Independence Day Concert, the Orange Town News, which is once again producing the event, presents “Back in Time – A Tribute to Huey Lewis and the News” to perform prior to the town’s Annual Independence Day Fireworks Spectacular.

The festivities will begin promptly at 6:30 pm with welcoming comments from Orange First Selectman Jim Zeoli. The concert will be followed promptly at 9:30 pm by the Independence Day Fireworks Spectacular with Patriotic Music.

Producer Rocky Salperto said, “We are looking forward to another premiere event for area residents to enjoy. We are excited about producing this show for the eighth consecutive year. We hope everyone continues to enjoy this great community event. Many thanks go out to our sponsors, our first selectman and town officials for their continued support.”

The event is made possible through area sponsors including major sponsors: Cohen and Wolf, P.C.; Yale University, The Orange Foundation’s Olga Fund, the Orange Town News and the Town of Orange.
