Hundreds of people joined in the traditional Last Night of the Proms favourites at the Music in the Park event in the grounds of Wistow Hall.
Members of the 1,000-strong audience waved flags as award- winning band Boobs and Brass played Rule Britannia and Jerusalem on Saturday evening.
They then sat spellbound during a spectacular firework display.
The event, organised by the Wigston Rotary Club, also featured Leicester's Junction 21 swing band.
Harry Dalby, chairman of the organising committee, said: "I would like to thank all those who worked so hard to make the event such a success.
"The good weather encouraged many people to come at the last moment and the numbers were up on last year."
He said it was too early to assess how much money was raised for the three principal charities, LOROS, The Prince's Trust and Breast Cancer Campaign.
