LANCASTER – The city of Lancaster is hosting virtual “AV Idol” auditions to find a local resident to perform the national anthem at this year’s 4th of July Extravaganza.

The selected singer will have the honor of singing the national anthem in front of thousands of people at the 4th of July Extravaganza at the Antelope Valley Fair & Event Center on Monday, July 4.

“The 4th of July is without a doubt one of our signature events here in Lancaster, and I am so proud that we will be featuring a local artist singing the national anthem,” said Mayor R. Rex Parris. “I know that we have a lot of talent in our community, so I can’t wait to see who submits audition videos and who is ultimately selected to perform.”
