Blige will make her first appearance ever at July 4th in Philadelphia with a free concert and, of course, our Philadelphia hometown icons Boyz II Men will be honored for all of their incredible pioneering work."
The festivities begin at 7pm and will end at 9:30pm with a giant Fireworks show.
"July 4th goes into the neighborhoods, we bring 10,000 free books to kids, we celebrate the most patriotic parade in America, and everything is free," Guaracino said.
