Comments
are boats allowed at river front for the fireworks display
Normally, mile marker 190 to 191 on the Cumberland River is closed to waterway traffic for this event.
We’re coming from out of town for this event. Can you tell me what to bring or what to expect when we get there?
Hmmm…
Bring- your sunscreen, good walking shoes, a few friends and a smile.
Expect- a big crowd, a super show, a few road closures and traffic delays.
*We’ve found, in past years, that the less items you carry/bring with you the better.
Can we bring a tripod for our camera? Want to shoot pictures and need a tripod to capture photos of fireworks.
Is this event on the fourth of July?
Yes, the celebration is always on July 4th and (the previous ?)I’m not sure about bringing the tripod I’ve never seen anyone there with one so I would probably say no based on the fact that they don’t allow umbrellas, coolers,lawn chairs (unless they are ground chairs), or backpacks.
are small dogs allowed (that can stay in a bag?)
A wonderfull show! Would advise anyone to attend!
Advice to the police! Please make sure that there are several rows so that people can go up and down.
thanks!!
This event ended at 9:30 instead of starting at 9:30
Does this mean no boats allowed?
