The expanded America 250 Celebration will feature 30+ Nashville artists spanning two days and five stages, and the performances will anchor a three-hour national TV special, Disney Celebrates America: Nashville’s Star-Spangled Bash, with host Ryan Seacrest, which will air live on July 4 from 7-10 p.m. CT on ABC, ABC News Live, which streams on Disney+ and Hulu, the ESPN App, Freeform, FX and NatGeo. The TV broadcast will also include performances from Little Big Town, Reba McEntire and Tim McGraw.

As a live event, the America 250 celebration in downtown Nashville on July 3-4 will also feature Brittney Spencer, MŌRIAH, Charlie Worsham and Kenny Sharp. Audiences will also enjoy rock, jazz, blues, salsa, R&B, bluegrass, Americana, funk, Zydeco, hip-hop, pop and more throughout the two-day event. Emily Ann Roberts will serve as backstage correspondent for the celebration, and comedian John Crist will be the broadcast’s reporter.

The concert culminates with the July 4th Fireworks and Drone Show presented by Crav’n Flavor, the largest fireworks and aerial drone light display in Nashville history. The show will feature 1,000 drones, filling more of the sky above the Cumberland River than ever before. For the first time, Nashville’s fireworks display will feature 12-inch shells, the largest ever launched in the city. More than three times larger in volume and weight than the shells used in previous years, each shell weighs more than 20 pounds and soars 1,200 feet into the air before bursting into a display spanning more than 1,000 feet across.

“This broadcast is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate everything Nashville has built over the years and share the best of Music City with audiences across the country,” says Deana Ivey, President and CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. “From our incredible artists and musicians to one of the nation’s most spectacular fireworks shows, the broadcast will show what makes Nashville such a special destination. It’s especially meaningful to do so as our country marks America’s 250th anniversary, giving us the chance to celebrate our nation’s history while sharing the creativity and hospitality that define Nashville today and is fueling its future.”

The performances, along with the fireworks and drone show, are free and open to the public. The event drives significant economic activity, supporting local businesses, generating tax revenue and boosting tourism across the city. The event has regularly drawn more than 200,000 attendees including a record-breaking 365,000 in 2025, generating $23.8 million in estimated direct visitor spending.
