If you want a truly extraordinary Fourth of July celebration this year, you should venture out to Cookeville where this holiday stands out among all others. It is here that you will discover a firework display that has been dubbed the second largest fireworks display in Tennessee, but the celebration does not start there. In fact, this celebration starts on June 30 and ends with the last bright boom in the night’s sky. It is all a part of the big party known as Cookeville’s Fourth of July celebration and you are invited to attend.
The Many Things to See in Cookeville
Can you imagine a 1,000-foot water slide that runs down a street in the middle of a small town? You will find it in Cookeville as a part of the biggest celebration of the year. However, first, you can visit the Firecracker Flea Market at the fairgrounds and watch an After Dark movie in the Park on day one. On July first, there is typically a Car Cruz In at the fairgrounds and the SlideCKVL down Broad Street runs from all after noon and into the evening hours for those who simply want to have fun and cool off. For smaller kids, who are not ready to slide, there is a KidZone and for adults who are not able to play anymore can join in one of the concerts. The water slide and much more will continue until the fireworks kick off on the Fourth and it is all something you will not want to miss out on.
Other Enjoyable Delights
If you visit for the Red, White, and Boom celebration, you may grow tired of the festivities and want to move on to other things. Luckily, there are a variety of other things for you to enjoy. There are coffee shops, wine and other beverages, big breakfasts, and local favorites for you to sample. There are also stores that are devoted to sweet treats if you didn’t get enough cotton candy at the fairgrounds. If you choose to stay after the festivities, you can take a long look at history and explore what small town living is all about. Are you ready to see what everyone is talking about?
