Nashville's Own Chris Young to Star in Free 4th of July Concert and Fireworks Show

Chris Young, a well-known entertainer, will headline the Let Freedom Sing! Music City July 4th event in Nashville. This announcement comes from the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. The event, backed by Dr Pepper, will host a large July 4th fireworks show, introducing drone light elements. The Nashville Symphony will provide live music to accompany the fireworks. The event will also support PENCIL, a charity, and will feature the Amazon Family Fun Zone, offering inflatables and live music. The concert and fireworks are open to the public at no cost.

Young, a Nashville native with 13 No. 1 singles, will perform on the Jack Daniel's Broadway Stage. He will be joined by a diverse lineup including Yola, Girl Named Tom, and Blessing Offor.

The event will collaborate with PENCIL, a charity that connects community resources with Metro Nashville Public Schools. Funds and school supplies will be raised for PENCIL. Each official event t-shirt sold will contribute one dollar to PENCIL. Event sponsor Simply Done will donate school supplies for 500 students, and Dr Pepper will donate 500 student backpacks. Attendees are encouraged to support PENCIL.

The event will also be a Safe Bar event, promoting bystander intervention and awareness about alcohol’s role in sexual assault. Ken Levitan, Chairman of the NCVC Board of Directors, expressed enthusiasm about the diverse lineup, the drone light show, and the partnership with PENCIL.

The Amazon Family Fun Zone at Music City Walk of Fame Park will provide family activities during the day. The event will then transition to a free concert at the Jack Daniel’s Broadway Stage. After the concert, the Nashville Symphony will perform live at the Ascend Amphitheater, followed by the fireworks and drone show. Courtney Ross, Amazon’s Senior Manager of Community Engagement, expressed support for the festivities with the Amazon Family Fun Zone.
