NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nashville’s iconic river entertainment company, Pontoon Saloon, is offering one of the city’s most exclusive Fourth of July experiences with premium fireworks cruises positioned directly inside the Cumberland River’s restricted security zone during Nashville’s annual Independence Day celebration and America’s 250th anniversary festivities.
Pontoon Saloon operates two of the only three commercial vessels permitted inside the secured fireworks viewing zone on the Cumberland River, giving guests access to what many consider the absolute best seat in the city for Nashville’s nationally recognized fireworks show. Departing just minutes from Broadway, the all-inclusive experience combines unbeatable fireworks views, skyline scenery, food, drinks and entertainment while allowing guests to avoid the heavy downtown crowds and traffic typically associated with the holiday.
“There truly isn’t another viewing experience in Nashville like this,” said Matthew Ford of Pontoon Saloon. “Being one of the very few vessels permitted inside the security zone means our guests are positioned directly in the heart of the fireworks experience with an unobstructed view of the skyline and show from the water.”
Guests aboard the Fourth of July Fireworks Cruise will enjoy:
- Exclusive access inside the Cumberland River fireworks security zone
- The closest possible views of the downtown Nashville fireworks display
- Complimentary beer, wine, and light appetizers
- Catering provided by Nashville favorite Crave Catering
- Music and entertainment throughout the three-hour event that evening
- Access to onboard bars with additional beverages available for purchase
- Free parking and convenient check-in away from Broadway congestion
- An unforgettable nighttime cruise through downtown Nashville
Included beverage selections will feature favorites such as Miller Lite, Michelob Ultra and local craft beer options, along with red, white and rosé wines. Additional cocktails and premium beverages will also be available for purchase onboard.
The experience is designed to offer a more elevated and intimate alternative to traditional downtown viewing areas while still placing guests directly in the center of Nashville’s largest summer celebration.
For groups looking for a more private experience, their sister company, Nashville Water Taxi, will also offer limited private charter opportunities for the Fourth of July. Private experiences provide groups with a customizable and exclusive way to enjoy the fireworks from the river with friends, family or corporate guests.
Early bird tickets are currently available through May 31. Public ticket sales officially begin June 1. Due to limited capacity and the exclusivity of the security zone access, tickets are expected to sell out well in advance of the event.
Pontoon Saloon operates public and private cruises year-round on the Cumberland River and has become one of Nashville’s most popular entertainment experiences, welcoming tens of thousands of guests annually for celebrations, sightseeing cruises, corporate outings, and nightlife experiences on the water.
