Nashville's annual Let Freedom Sing! celebration was canceled for its first day on Friday, July 3, because of severe weather moving through Middle Tennessee. Event organizers announced the cancellation as thunderstorms brought heavy rain, frequent lightning and the threat of flash flooding across the region. Let Freedom Sing! is Nashville's largest Independence Day celebration and one of the nation's biggest Fourth of July events. The festival runs from July 3-4 and is scheduled to feature performances by The All-American Rejects, Boyz II Men, Brothers Osborne, Clint Black, Lauren Daigle, NE-YO, Nick Jonas, Sublime and dozens of local artists before a fireworks finale accompanied by the Nashville Symphony. The event also includes family activities, food vendors and live entertainment throughout downtown Nashville. _______________ Follow! Like! Share! Subscribe!
