The annual Independence Day concert in the nation's capital, dubbed "A Capitol Fourth," is slated to allow in-person crowds for the first time in two years.

While July 4th has been celebrated at the Capitol and the White House for decades, usually with a fireworks display and other festivities, including a concert with popular performers, several of the annual events took a two-year hiatus from in-person crowds due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
