A CELEBRATION OF AMERICA250

THURSDAY, JUNE 11

Carnegie Hall opens the 2026 Ivy Terrace Concert Series on Thursday, June 11, at 6:30 p.m. with a patriotic America250 celebration featuring the West Virginia Jazz Orchestra, 2nd Block Rock, and Greenbrier East High School students performing the national anthem. Readings of the winning entries from the Patriotism in Poetry Contest will also take place. Sponsored by City National Bank and supported by the West Virginia Semiquincentennial Commission, the free, alcohol‑free concert takes place outdoors on the Ivy Terrace lawn in front of New River Community and Technical College, where attendees are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket and a picnic. The evening also serves as an Appreciation Show for Carnegie Hall’s 2025–2026 volunteers, with indoor relocation planned in case of inclement weather.
