Celebrate July 4th in Nashville

Let Freedom Sing! is one of our biggest parties of the year. Come celebrate July 4th with lots of live music, activities for all ages and a gasp-inspiring fireworks display.

A Few Tips

• If driving, take note of where you parked. Maybe even take a photo or ping the GPS location.
• Stay hydrated. Drink more water than you think you need.
• Beer is not a substitute for water–no matter what country songs say.
• Determine a rendezvous point in case you get separated from others in your party.
• Don’t take anything you don’t think you’ll need.
• Of course there are plenty of restaurants in the area as well as food trucks set up near the Amazon Family Fun Zone on Rep. John Lewis Way and on 1st Avenue near Ascend Amphitheater. You can also pack a picnic–just abide by the guidelines below.

Rooftop viewing parties at bars are a big deal and often sell out so plan ahead if you want to have primo places above the thousands gathered in the streets. In addition to all the restaurants and bars in the area, there will be a food truck zone next to Bridgestone Arena. Between the Hilton and the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum is the Amazon Family Fun Zone which opens at noon.
