Critic's Pick: "Now that Nashville is one of the country’s preeminent Fourth of July locations, there is never a shortage of things to do around town on the holiday."

Now that Nashville is one of the country’s preeminent Fourth of July locations, there is never a shortage of things to do around town on the holiday.
