It’s not Independence Day without a fireworks show! Fireworks will be shot from Cement Hill, located behind Citizens Bank in downtown Kingsport. Red, White & BOOM attendees will have a great view of the show and kids of all ages will enjoy watching the sky sparkle. If you’re watching the fireworks from another location in Kingsport, tune into Electric 94.9 to stream the soundtrack. The fireworks show will begin immediately following the concert at approximately 9:45 PM.
