July 4th Fireworks, Presented by Crav'n Flavor

Fireworks Show, Presented by Crav’n Flavor®

• This year, there will continue to be four major positions, so the show will cover a larger airspace above the Cumberland River.
• This will be the largest fireworks show in the city’s history, and the finale will continue to be one of the most powerful in the country.
• The largest fireworks in the show will be American-made 12-inch shells, the largest ever used in a Nashville fireworks display. Four times larger than the 8-inch shells featured in previous years, each shell weighs more than 20 pounds and soars 1,200 feet into the air before bursting into a display spanning more than 1,000 feet in diameter.
• There will be more than 1,000 floating flares as part of the show.
• Twenty technicians from Pyro Shows will set up the show over the course of 12 days.
• 40,000 pounds of explosives and 200 miles of wire will be used in the show. Stretched end to end, that wire would span the distance between Nashville and Memphis.
• Twelve flatbed trailers mounted with fireworks will be staged outside Nissan Stadium.
• Some 350,000 pounds of sand will be used to bury the largest shells.
• There will be eight pyrotechnicians in a steel bunker located in the middle of the show firing the shells synchronized to the Nashville Symphony performance.

DRONE LIGHT ELEMENTS

• This is the third year that a Sky Elements drone show has been added to the fireworks show. This year’s total of 1,000 drones is the largest number of drones in the show.
• An approved FAA waiver allows the drone show to fly at 600 feet in the sky.
• There are two licensed drone pilots captaining the show.
• Sky Elements Drone Shows, which produced the drone show, is a 17-time Guinness World Record holder.
