Salute to America or Civil War Remembrance

[NocteSpiritus]

Basically the GFV/HFM's July 4th celebration. July 3-6. 

 

"Greenfield Village Entrance gates open at 6 pm for an evening performance of a classic Independence Day Celebration with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Tickets are valid only on the date listed; void once scanned. This is an outdoor event and is held rain or shine.  We regret there can be no refunds, even in the event of inclement weather, as determined by The Henry Ford in cooperation with local Emergency Services. Please read our severe weather policy before purchasing tickets. Alcoholic beverages are not permitted unless purchased on-site."

 

Is there any interest in doing this? Keep in mind save for Thursdays (being my one day off in the week so far), I will be off work at 6 (unless we're slow) and may not get there until 630. I'm still hoping to get a group of us going just for the museum, village, and factory tour or the Civil War days this weekend. If there is more interest in one than the other, decide now and we all can meet there and use my membership for tickets.

Salute to America

A bump to see if there's an interest in doing the Salute to America event. Even I will have to pay for the ticket. I'm wanting to see if there's anyone who's wanting to try and make a day/evening out of this and go do it. The DSO will be there. Can always do an afternoon at the village, maybe a dinner/something to eat at the Eagle Tavern (a stage coach stop) or at the cafe, and pick a spot for the fireworks. I can make room in my car's trunk and bring a wagon for anything we bright for snacks/waters/chairs.

Prices now stand: 23.75 for members and 28 for non members. With my membership, I'm sure the nonmember price will go down. Prices will increase June 17th.

I would love to go as long as there isn't a lot of walking or standing.

We can always take breaks as needed.

Bumping this to see if there's any interest in Salute to America. The dates are July 3-6. There's the option of bringing our own food/drinks/seating if we do just the evening event. If we do the whole day (museum/tour/village or some combo of the three or just one), we can bring still do it.

 

We can reserve wheelchairs if needed, but it needs to be done before the day we decide on.
