Welcome America!
By now, you’ve probably heard that the Goo Goo Dolls are playing the Welcome America! festival before the fireworks go up Sunday night. And while we’re in awe of frontman John Rzeznik’s hair (highlights! flat irons! oh my!), an opening set by the Roots with guest Chrisette Michele is plenty enough reason to get to the Parkway. Did we mention this is all free? Because it is. Sunday, 8 p.m., Ben Franklin Parkway, www.welcome america.com

Happy Birthday America at the Tritone
