Nashville wrapped another sparkling fourth of July celebration downtown with its annual “Let Freedom Sing!” event, drawing a record 355,000 people in spite of the oppressive heat and a temporary downpour.

The lineup of music featured headliner Chris Young as well as Girl Named Tom and Blessing Offor. Yola‘s scheduled performance did not take place due to the weather delay. To help keep attendees safe in the severe heat, safety precautions were put in place including misting tents and hydration stations. Red Frogs volunteers handed out free water, misting, sunscreen and more.

For the first time ever, the massive fireworks display incorporated drones into the 30-minute show high above the city, which were choreographed to a live musical performance by the Nashville Symphony.

“Once again, Music City delivered another spectacular Independence Day celebration, and the fireworks and drone show choreographed to the Nashville Symphony was a highlight,” says Deana Ivey, President and CEO, Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. “Thank you to headliner Chris Young and our wonderful lineup, as well as all our event partners, Metro agencies and everyone who celebrated with us.”
