 Presented by the City of Elyria and Main Street Elyria

 
Young and old, bring your family, your blankets, your lawn chairs – and even your capes – for a colorful, FREE, thoroughly entertaining evening of classical music with a bang, complete with mini-fireworks and superheroes.  Designed to bring out the kid in all of us, children of all ages will be captivated by music featured in your favorite superheroes’ films and TV by many of the great cine-master composers, and directed by super pops conductor Carl Topilow.  And don’t worry, your favorite patriotic tunes will be incorporated, carrying on our tradition of honoring our real heroes.

Your gamma ray strengths will come to life with visits from the likes of Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Captain America and many more thanks to Super Heroes to Kids in Ohio.  And please, come dressed as your favorite superhero and become eligible to win special prizes!  At this concert you’ll learn what it takes to be a hero and how to know one when you see one!  Family-friendly pre-concert events begin at 5:15pm in Ely Square.  Keith’s Comics will be distributing free comic books.  The Elyria Art Depot will be sponsoring three public art projects for you to participate in including a Superhero Chalkwalk, a Create a Superhero Downtown Mural Challenge, and creating an original piece of Superhero Art that will hang in the square during the concert.

Musicians from the Cleveland Pops will be sponsoring an Instrument Petting Zoo to expose children to musical instruments and food vendors will be available for your dining pleasure.
