The free event takes place on July 4 at the city’s Patriot Park (186 Old Mill Ave.) An afternoon of entertainment and activities begin at 2 p.m. with various food vendors for guests to explore. From the main stage, the Pigeon Forge Community Chorus will begin the night’s entertainment with a veterans tribute at 4 p.m. Veterans are invited to attend the event and be recognized during the tribute ceremony.
Scott takes the stage at 8:30 p.m. Patriot Festival concludes with a spectacular fireworks display.
“Patriot Festival is an Independence Day tradition in Pigeon Forge,” said Pigeon Forge Mayor David Wear. “We look forward to a great lineup headlined by Dylan Scott, and we encourage all veterans and active military members to attend so that we can honor and thank each of them for their service.”
Curb Records recording artist Dylan Scott has notched six No. 1 singles at radio (“My Girl,” Nobody,” “New Truck,” “Can’t Have Mine,” “Boys Back Home,” with Dylan Marlowe and “This Town’s Been Too Good To Us”), as well as the Top 5 hit “Hooked.” With career streams approaching 5 billion, the Louisiana native just concluded his headlining Country Till I Die Tour this spring, smashing attendance records at his biggest venues yet, and will embark on his headlining Easy Does It Tour this fall. His new album Easy Does It reflects themes of heartbreak, committed love and nods to the small town that raised him, and is available everywhere May 30.
Columbia Records/Sony Music Nashville artist-songwriter Alana Springsteen—one of People magazine’s 2024 Ones to Watch—has won acclaim from the likes of NPR Music who noted, “Few artists dissect and make sense of life in your 20s quite like Alana Springsteen.” Lauded by GRAMMY.com for “Speaking To An Entire Generation,” her powerhouse three-part debut album, Twenty Something, scored her first RIAA certification for gold hit “goodbye looks good on you” (featuring Mitchell Tenpenny). Also earning her first career No. 1 with Tiësto (“Hot Honey”), she’s surpassed 340 million global career streams to date. Promising new music soon, Springsteen is currently supporting Keith Urban on his High and Alive World Tour.
Singer/songwriter Bryson Quick, a recent graduate of Seymour High School, received American Idol Season 23’s Golden Ticket to Hollywood during this year’s competition. In addition to a performance on the Grand Ole Opry, Quick has been a featured artist at several Knoxville-area venues. In April, he appeared in the Pigeon Forge Music in the Mountains Spring Parade. His debut single “After All” is available now on all digital platforms.
