Two American classics share one stage in Morristown. Don McLean, the man behind “American Pie,” and Lee Greenwood, who wrote “God Bless the U.S.A.,” play the Mayo Performing Arts Center, 100 South Street, on Sunday, November 15, 2026, at 7 PM.
MPAC is billing the night as a celebration of America’s 250th birthday, and it lands just days after Veterans Day. It is a natural pick for a Sunday night out with family.
