Nashville's July 4th Celebration Is EXPLOSIVE

7/18/2023

Comments

 
Let Freedom Sing is a free, family friendly event that occurs on July 4th.  Nashvillians and visitors from all over come to celebrate the holiday in downtown Music City.  ​
The summer heat was turned up even hotter with the activities, and concerts.  We began the day in Music City Walk of Fame Park, at the Amazon Family Fun Zone, which included inflatables, live music, a cooling station, and free samples of Dr Pepper's new Strawberries and Cream.   ​
Thereafter, we head to Hyatt Centric hotel to speak with rising country artist, Tiera Kennedy, who performed the national anthem and opened the main show at Jack Daniel's Broadway Stage. ​
As the night drew closer, inclement weather brought the show to a pause but eventually the celebration continued with an explosive performance from country music superstar, Brad Paisley.....and ending the event with one of the country's largest July 4th fireworks shows synchonized to live music from the Nashville Symphony.  ​

Remember to add Let Freedom Sing to your calendar for July 4th.
