Stand Up for America Returns July 4 with Neal McCoy, Hailey Wright and Fireworks Spectacular

The annual Stand Up for America celebration is set to return this year with an exciting lineup that includes country music star Neal McCoy and a spectacular fireworks display at dark.

Gates will open at 4:30 p.m. at Nashville City Park, where attendees can enjoy food trucks, vendors, bounce houses, face painting for children, and a patriotic celebration worthy of America’s 250th anniversary.

As part of the America 250 celebration, rising country artist Hailey Wright of Redwater, Texas, will take the stage. Wright first gained national attention in 2021 when she participated in a virtual audition for American Idol and received a callback. Although judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie felt she wasn’t quite ready at the time, Wright continued pursuing her dream.

In 2024, she auditioned virtually for The Voice and once again earned a callback. At just 19 years old, Wright became a contestant on Season 27 of the hit television competition. During her blind audition, she performed Freddy Fender’s classic country song, “Before the Next Teardrop Falls,” earning two chair turns from Michael Bublé and Kelsea Ballerini. Wright ultimately joined Team Kelsea and advanced to the third round of the competition.

Following her success on The Voice, Wright released her debut single, “Whiskey Kisses,” in 2025.

Wright is scheduled to perform the National Anthem and several additional songs during the Stand Up for America event.

The celebration will take place Saturday, July 4, at Nashville City Park. Reserved-seat tickets are $50, adult general admission tickets are $25, children ages 6-13 are $10, and children ages 5 and under are admitted free.

Tickets can be purchased at the radio station, the Nashville Chamber Office, through the Chamber website, or online by scanning the QR code featured on event posters throughout the area.
