GRAMMY-nominated country artist Chris Young will headline Nashville’s July 4 celebration (#NashvilleJuly4), which will take place near Riverfront Park with a stage on Broadway, the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp announced today.
Let Freedom Sing! July 4 in Music City presented by Dr Pepper Cherry is a free, family-friendly event that showcases the GRAMMY-winning Nashville Symphony and the largest fireworks show in the country.
In addition to Young, who is a multi-Platinum recording artist from nearby Murfreesboro, Tennessee with nine No. 1 singles including his recent ACM, CMA and Grammy nominated duet “Think Of You” with Cassadee Pope, the lineup also includes the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, the genre-blurring ensemble of “Fishin’ In The Dark” and “Mr. Bojangles” fame; R&B artist Jonny P; and folk rock duo The Sisterhood, featuring Alyssa Bonagura and Ruby Stewart, daughter of rock icon Rod Stewart.
Let Freedom Sing! July 4 in Music City kicks off an extended patriotic weekend that starts with a bang and ends with a kick with live music in between. Following the Independence Day celebration, MercyMe will be in concert at Ascend Amphitheater on July 6; My Morning Jacket and Margo Price then hit Ascend Amphitheater on July 7; and the Gold Cup double-header featuring the U.S. Men’s National Team takes place on July 8 at Nissan Stadium.
The highlight of the free one-day July 4 event is a 30-minute fireworks show synchronized to a live performance by the Nashville Symphony. The event also features a free daytime Family Fun Zone that includes inflatables and other kid-friendly activities.
