Nashville’s Let Freedom Sing! 4th of July event downtown was a huge success, with nearly 300,000 attending the annual star-studded Independence Day celebration.

Old Dominion headlined the free show on Lower Broadway, which also featured performances from Gramps Morgan, Cassadee Pope, and Levi Hummon. The event featured the biggest fireworks show in Nashville history synchronized to a live performance by the Nashville Symphony.

“We estimate attendance of 250,000 to 300,000 at the event site,” Butch Spyridon, CEO, Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. shares. “That’s about what we thought with July 4th being on a Monday, compared to last year’s record crowd of 350,000 coming on a Sunday. Thank you to the city and all our partners for helping us host a successful event that generates millions of dollars in visitor spending and also gives local Nashvillians a world-class concert and fireworks show right in their backyard.”

Last year’s event generated $14.7 million for the city. This year’s event was the 19th annual celebration produced by the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp and the 38th in the city.
