NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — When you're not hanging by the pool or getting ready for fireworks, why not enjoy some hot chicken!
The annual Music City Hot Chicken Festival takes place on July 4 in East Park!
The free fun kicks off at 10:30 a.m. with the Fire Truck Parade! Following the parade, you can enjoy hot chicken from Nashville's best Hot Chicken spots, cold beer from Yazoo and of course live music!
The festival ends at 3 p.m.
You can take a look at all the details and a map of the festival here.

My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
