• Salute Series
Campaign Description

The Philly POPS Salute Series encourages recognition of service and commitment through a set of events and activities—each transformative moments of celebration for our community. Salute performances recognize the service and sacrifice of those dedicated to a collective identity of American values and tradition.


The robust Philly POPS Salute Series dazzles audiences and reaches 750,000 members of the service community with free performances.

Signature events include large-scale, free performances on Memorial Day, July 3 on Independence Mall, July 4 at Philadelphia's Independence Day concert, and opening night of the POPS I’ll Be Home for Christmas: A Salute to the Military and First Responders in December. Donations of any size help to underwrite the cost of the Salute Series and the complimentary tickets we extend to the Military, Veterans, Police and Fire Departments, frontline healthcare workers, and their families. A gift of any size helps. Please donate today!
