The Freedom Friday concert honors members of the military, police, fire, first responders and frontline heroes. The 160th Special Ops Aviation Regiment will perform a helicopter aerial demonstration and a pre-concert flyover by the 101st Airborne Division. In addition, Wesley Mortgage will provide free rides on the Ferris Wheel all weekend.
