You Won’t Want To Miss These Incredible Fireworks Shows In Tennessee This Year

Tennessee has never been accused of being unpatriotic, and its selection of spectacular fireworks displays is a testament to that pride. In fact, we've highlighted that here in 2015, and again here in 2016. There's no need to ask, "where are the fireworks near me...?" - because we've already found them all. We've compiled a detailed list of some of the best in the state. How many will you be attending?

1. Nashville: Let Freedom Sing!

The 2017 Let Freedom Sing celebration in downtown Nashville promises to be another massive event for the city. The day's festivities start at 12 PM and continue right up through the fireworks, which will take place at dusk (likely between 8:30 PM and 9 PM). As always, this festival features big name music headliners, featuring Chris Young and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band this year. We also recommend checking out the Hot Chicken Festival in East Park, just over the river from downtown, which will run from 11 AM to 3 PM. Make sure to get downtown early to get a spot to see the fireworks, as this event regularly brings in over 200,000 people to downtown.

2. Murfreesboro Independence Day

Celebrating Independence Day on the 4th this year, Murfreesboro has activities all day for the whole family to enjoy. Their annual "Rock the Pool" party at the Sports.com outdoor pool begins at 10 AM with plenty of other family-friendly activities planned both there and at the McKnight Park across the parking lot. There will be concerts in the park starting at 3:30 PM, culminating in a performance by the Murfreesboro Symphony and the fireworks at 9 PM.

3. Franklin on the Fourth

Downtown Franklin is the place to be on the Fourth of July. Their Main Street turns in to a massive block party with live music, food, antique cars, a kids zone, a kids parade, and much more. Festivities downtown culminate with the parade at 5 PM before closing down 8 PM, just in time for everyone to make their way to the Harlinsdale Farm Park, where the fireworks will begin at 9 PM.

4. Clarksville Independence Day Celebration

The Clarksville Independence Day Celebration for 2017 will take place on Monday, July 3rd. The event will take place at Liberty Park on the South side of town. Food, live music, and family activities will take all be a part of the festivities, starting at 6 PM. The fireworks display will begin at 9:15 PM.

5. Pops on the River - Chattanooga

Pops on the River will take place on July 3rd for 2017. As always, the event takes place at the beautiful Coolidge Park, right on the river, and the event is free. Special veterans tributes from veteran songwriters will start at 5 PM, and the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera will be performing music starting at 8 PM. The fireworks will start at 9:45 PM sharp. Parking is available at the Republic parking lots between 4th and 5th streets, with a free shuttle taking attendees to the park. For those travelling from out of town, don't forget that these times are all Eastern.
