The big bang: Nashville to host America's largest July 4th fireworks display
Nashville is really blowing up.
And we're not just talking about all the construction cranes - the city's annual Fourth of July fireworks display will be the largest in the country, according to a news release from the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp.
"The event garners more and more international media attention each year and is now a massive, multi-day celebration where thousands travel to enjoy free music and the best fireworks in the country," Butch Spyridon, president and CEO of the NCVC, said in a news release. "July 4 th falls on a Saturday this year, giving us the chance to leverage our past success and create maximum return for the city. With the U.S. men's soccer match on Friday, two days of great performances, family activities and the largest fireworks show in the country, we estimate it to be a huge weekend for Nashville."
This year's fireworks - synchronized to live music from the Nashville Symphony - will be preceded by performances from Mikky Ekko and headliner Martina McBride.
Last year's event drew a record crowd of 280,000 people.
