Chattanooga is a city that likes to celebrate, so you will find many 4th of July events all throughout town. However, one event you will not want to miss is Pops On The River, located in Coolidge Park. Get to the park early for some live performances, food, drinks, and stake out a great spot on the lawn. Make sure to bring a blanket or lawn chairs for the event and get ready for a great fireworks display as they are lit off in the Renaissance Park across the river. So guests can expect a close-up and spectacular view of the show.

Patriot Festival is located appropriately enough in Patriot Park for its annual Independence Day celebration. This fireworks display has been revered as one of the best shows in the country and I would have to agree. Everything that is done in Pigeon Forge is worth doing big so you should expect nothing less when it comes to celebrating our nation's birthday. The event starts long before the fireworks start with a kids' area, food vendors, and live performances. The fireworks display is best viewed from the park, but visible from multiple places around town like The Island and the Pigeon Forge KOA (if you are lucky enough to be camping during the celebration).

Come as a stranger and be treated like family — then get ready for one epic firework show to end the night!
