Though we can’t gather this year for the 4th of July, we can still watch the celebration together while we’re apart. Music City’s “Let Freedom Sing!” music and fireworks celebration will honor healthcare heroes, first responders, and frontline workers. While there won’t be a public concert or spectators allowed in parks this year, a short fireworks display and music by John Hiatt, Keb’ Mo’ and more will air online and locally on NewsChannel 5.
Update: Nashville cancels July 4th fireworks as COVID-19 cases soar
