If there's one thing Nashville knows how to do, it's throw a party. Head down to Riverfront Park for a day filled with entertainment and family fun and an evening of incredible fireworks dancing in the night sky to the rhythm of the Nashville Symphony. Hailed as one of the best fireworks displays in the nation, this annual event attracts more than 100,000 spectators each year.

Festivities begin at noon with the free Family Fun Zone, presented by Coke, Kroger and Vietti Chili, featuring fun inflatables. Pre-show live music will take place from 3:00pm-6:00pm on the NowPlayingNashville.com First Stage featuring The WannaBeatles, Les Kerr & The Bayou Band and The Lost Trailers. The official main stage concert will kick off at 7:00pm with barbershop quartet Max Q performing the National Anthem. Barry Scott, the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, Phil Vassar and Michael McDonald will continue through the night, performing for the masses. This great party will conclude with the South's largest fireworks show at approximately 9:25pm.

House Policies: To insure the safety of all July 4 spectators, personal watercraft will only be allowed on the outside of the bridges (Shelby St. and Woodland St.). No alcoholic beverages inside the park. No backpacks or coolers. No tall lawn/camping chairs. Small seat cushions and ground chairs are allowed. No umbrellas. All food and drinks brought must be in a clear, see-through container.
