Event Details
If there's one thing Nashville knows how to do, it's throw a party. We've decided to take the biggest one of the year and spread it out over 3 days! We're offering free live music, family fun and incredible fireworks all weekend long. All events are free. All are at Riverfront Park. And all are where you want to be. So, come early. Stay late. Celebrate in Music City. Book a room for the weekend.
