Brad Paisley will once again celebrate July 4th with thousands of his closest friends in Nashville. The country music hitmaker will return to headline Let Freedom Sing! Music City July 4th, taking place on the Jack Daniel’s Broadway Stage.
The event, which includes one of the largest fireworks celebrations in the country, will also feature the Nashville Symphony, along with the event’s charitable partner, The Store, a nonprofit created by Paisley and his wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley.
A free Amazon Family Fun Zone will include inflatables and live music. The concert and fireworks show are free and open to the public. This marks Paisley’s second time headlining the holiday event. He first headlined the event in 2021.

Emotional experience seeing all this first hand. So much more to share.Posted by Brad Paisley on Wednesday, April 12, 2023
“It’s an emotional experience seeing all of this firsthand,” Paisley said of his visit. “For me looking around this city and being here for the first time, I’m absolutely struck by the resilience of life and the beautiful nature of the way this city is trying to thrive in the middle of conflict. And also trying to be as free as they can be in this hard time. I think as an American it is one of the most inspiring things I’ve ever seen and I’m absolutely honored to be here.”
