Nashville always has a free concert and fireworks show on the Fourth of July. We have the Nashville symphony that plays during the fireworks – a whole list of classical patriotic songs. But we also have 3 or 4 other types of music before the show.We all just meet up down by the river and spread out blankets on the grass to watch the shows and drink beer.

The free concerts last all afternoon and up until about 9:30, then the family drag their tired asses home and the young people hit the bars to keep on keeping on. Good times!
