NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Celebrate Independence Day with one of the largest fireworks shows in the country with Nashville’s Let Freedom Sing! Music City July 4^th.

A total of 20 technicians from LaFollette-based Pyro Shows have been working to set up Nashville’s “Let Freedom Sing!” fireworks show over the past week.

According to the NCVC, eight pyrotechnicians will be in a steel bunker in the middle of the show to fire the shells in synchronicity with the Nashville Symphony’s performance. There will be four major positions, meaning the show — which has one of the most powerful finales in the country — will cover a larger air space over the Cumberland River.

The largest shells will be American 8-inch shells, which travel 800 feet in the air and will break with a diameter of nearly 800 feet, organizers said. It will take roughly 35,000 pounds of sand to bury these shells.

The show will also use 40,000 pounds of explosives, more than 1,000 floating flares and special ghost shells, and 200 miles of wire, the NCVC reported.

On top of the thousands of fireworks, the show will feature 400 drones, ready to fly 700 feet in the sky under a special FAA waiver, captained by just two drone pilots. According to officials, Sky Elements Drone Shows — a 13-time Guinness World Record holder — produced the show, marking the second year drones have been incorporated in Nashville’s Fourth of July celebration.
