Nashville likes to party, you know that. So, of course it goes all out for Independence Day. Music City has one of the country’s largest 4th of July celebrations, with a similarly big fireworks display synchronized to a live performance by the GRAMMY-award winning Nashville Symphony. Performers at the city’s Let Freedom Sing! festivities include Chris Young, YOLA, Girl named Tom, Blessing Offor and others. All of this musical goodness is free to the public.

In the past, the Nashville fireworks show has attracted more than 250,000 people to see the sky light up. That’s a lot of people on the ground. If you want to see the festivities, but perhaps without being in the thick of that crowd, the Bobby Nashville has a solution 10 floors up. Nab a ticket to the Bobby Nashville’s Rooftop Lounge 4th of July BBQ and get an optimal vantage point for all the city shenanigans, plus a whole other party before the fireworks start. The holiday party starts at 5 p.m., with a rooftop barbecue featuring a full hog roast, signature cocktails, high-energy music thanks to DJ Sunnee & DJ Tanner.

The cookout food menu includes everything you’d want from a holiday barbecue: whole smoked hog, pulled pork, angus beef sliders, hot dogs, barbecue chicken, cole slaw, macaroni salad, potato salad, street corn salad and several desserts, including banana pudding, fruit and the most American of options: chocolate chip cookies.

The party is for attendees ages 21-and-up. Tickets can be purchased online through Eventbrite for $150 and includes food, two drink tickets and the fireworks view; limited parking is available for $15 (the Bobby Nashville is also convenient to WeGo Public Transit). Red, white and blue dress is optional, but certainly appropriate.
