The Sesame Street Gang Celebrate "A Capitol Fourth"
On the Fourth of July, we pause to remember and celebrate the values of liberty and justice that make our country great, and to be thankful for the remarkable freedoms that we enjoy in the United States of America.  Join millions as we celebrate A Capitol Fourth.

A Capitol Fourth features star-studded entertainment and crowd-pleasing fun on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol.  As a special treat for the entire family, Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch and more of the SESAME STREET gang will be on hand to celebrate America's 233rd birthday on A Capitol Fourth!  During America's biggest birthday party, the Muppets will perform a musical medley of patriotic favorites, as well as iconic songs that everyone knows and loves. Elmo and his friends are celebrating a special birthday this year too -- 40 years of SESAME STREET!

Watching A Capitol Fourth is a great way to celebrate America’s independence, so tune into the festivities by watching UNC-TV on Saturday, July 4, 2009 at 8:00 pm and 9:30 pm.

A parade of superstars — including Barry Manilow, Aretha Franklin, Natasha Bedingfield, and the cast of Jersey Boys under the direction of maestro Erich Kunzel with the National Symphony Orchestra with host Jimmy Smits, and of course, our loveable Muppets from SESAME STREET set the tone for this spectacular American birthday party.
