July 4th Activities in the Memphis Area

Author: Kelly, Category: Uncategorized

Now, I realize it’s hotter than can biscuits in the oven at the moment, but would July 4th seem right if it wasn’t?

There’s a number of events in and around town and most all of them include the one staple of a good Independence Day festivity: Fireworks. Here’s a list of events to get you in the patriotic spirit:

Star Spangled Celebration - June 30th

FM100’s Star Spangled Celebration is one of the most popular July 4th events in the Memphis area. Situated at Tom Lee Park, right on the Mississippi River, the celebration offers food, music (including Tennessee’s own almost-American Idol, Kimberly Locke) and, of course, fireworks. Festivities begin at 2:00 P.M. with the fireworks finale at 9:50 p.m.

Bartlett Fireworks Extravaganza

Held at Bobby K. Flaherty Municipal Center, festivities will begin at 6:30 p.m. and end at 9:30 p.m. Food, live music and, what else? Fireworks.

Southaven July 4th Celebration

Southaven, MS - spitting distance from the Memphis International Airport - hosts this celebration at Snowden Grove Park. I know you’re going to be surprised by this, but there will be music and fireworks.

Just remember folks, if you’re going to be out before the sun goes down, wear that sunblock. And the mosquitos are horrid right now, so bring plenty of OFF!
