Drew Cooper is on the lineup for the Marana Fourth of July event.

The whole town seems to turn out for the annual Star Spangled Spectacular in Marana, and why wouldn't they. Jumping castles, food trucks, a carpet of cool grass and fireworks shot from the nearby retail parking lots. And the music is always pretty top-notch.

This year's lineup: Tucson country singer Drew Cooper, alternative rockers Alien Atmosphere, R&B band Little House of Funk featuring Connie Brannock, indie pop-rockers Steff and the Articles and Los Angeles alternative rock trio Silent Rival, who are doing a double-dip in Tucson.

The band also is playing a gig July 6 at 191 Toole. Star Spangled Spectacular is from 5 to 9 p.m. Wednesday at Crossroads at Silverbell District Park, 7548 N. Silverbell Rd., off North Cortaro Road. Admission is free.Β
