Planning of the 41st annual concert has been underway for many months for a pre-recorded show due to the pandemic with a live fireworks presentation, instead of the traditional live concert on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol.

Renée Fleming opens the show performing the national anthem, and later Christopher Jackson performs "My Country ‘Tis of Thee." Other performers include Mickey Guyton, Ali Stroker, Jimmie Allen, and Laura Osnes. Kermit the Frog helps host and gives a special performance.
The National Symphony Orchestra conducted Jack Everly performs John Williams' inspiring composition "Olympic Fanfare" in tribute to Team USA, honoring the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams preparing for the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Also honored are the men and women of our military and their families for their contributions to our nation and their dedication to service.
