Watch the moving video montage here. Thank you to Miller Davis for creating and sharing this beautiful remembrance.

Thanks to ALL of the Pops at the Post staff and volunteers for making yesterday's indoor performance a success! It took an army of folks to pull this thing off, and we did it! We also want to recognize the Catawba College events staff, the Miller Davis Agency, New Sarum Brewery, Mean Mug Coffee Company, the City of Salisbury and finally the musicians, production crew, board members and volunteers of the Salisbury Symphony for their important parts in this very special event! Pops at the Post has never been moved inside for weather until now, so many people worked tirelessly to make the event possible. Of course, none of this would happen at all if it weren't for our great sponsors. We look forward to next year, when we hope to have Salisbury's signature outdoor festival and symphony concert once again at the Bell Tower Green!

UPDATE AS OF JUNE 5th:
The Board of Pops at the Post, a beloved Salisbury tradition, has announced that the 2025 event will be relocated from its originally planned outdoor location to an indoor venue due to the forecast of inclement weather.

This year's concert will now be held at Keppel Auditorium at Catawba College, located at 2300 W. Innes Street, Salisbury, NC 28144, on Saturday, June 7, 2025. This change of venue ensures the continued enjoyment and safety of attendees while preserving the integrity and spirit of the event. Notably, this marks the first time in the event’s 20-year history that the free, family-friendly celebration has been moved due to weather conditions.

The evening will begin with a pre-show performance in the Peeler Crystal Lounge by the Salisbury Swing Band from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., followed by the main symphonic concert from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., with no intermission.

The feature performance will showcase the Salisbury Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Maestro Daniel Wiley, delivering a vibrant program that blends patriotic classics and popular musical selections.

This is gonna be great... The first Symphony concert delivered from the new concert shell at the Bell Tower Green Park! It's totally free, but you'll still want to bring a few bucks for the food trucks and the drink and wine vendors on site. Set out your lawn chairs and coolers and dab a little sunscreen on your face and you'll be ready for the concert event of the year! Listen to great live music as the sun sets to the West and the strings begin their magic!

Looking forward to another great POPS AT THE POST!
