Have plans this Independence Day? Events around town are selling out fast, but there are still plenty of celebratory happenings on Friday, July 4.
Let Freedom Sing! Music City July 4th
Celebrate at Nashville’s annual free Fourth of July bash with Dierks Bentley, Russell Dickerson, Niko Moon, and more, plus fireworks synchronized to a Nashville Symphony performance. The event begins at 11 a.m. with activities at Walk of Fame Park, and the main show kicks off at 4:50 p.m. on Lower Broadway.
Nashville Sounds and Nashville SC
Make it a long weekend of fireworks. The Nashville Sounds will light up the sky after their Thursday, July 3 game against the Memphis Redbirds, and Nashville SC will cap off their Americana Night match on Saturday, July 5 with a fireworks show at GEODIS Park.
Red, White, & Boom
Not only will you have a view of Nashville’s fireworks display from the Adventure Science Center’s front lawn, there will be themed activities, food trucks, and laser shows. Tickets start at $35.
Music City July 4th 5K
Don’t expect fireworks this early in the day, but hundreds of Nashvillians will kick off the holiday with a run, jog, or stroll through Nashville. This year’s race begins and ends at Centennial Park.
Surrounding cities
If you’re looking to trade downtown crowds (and traffic) for space to stretch out your picnic blanket, check out celebrations in Brentwood, Franklin, Hendersonville, and Murfreesboro.
