🇺🇸 There’s no better place to kick off the celebration of our country’s 250th year of independence than at Aspire Park!
Join us June 27 for Liberty Over Aspire: History in the Sky — an exciting patriotic drone show celebrating freedom, local history, and 250 years of America.
Bring the family and get ready for an unforgettable night at Aspire Park.
✨ More exciting details and event information coming soon!

Celebrate America’s 250th with us on Saturday, June 27th! 🇺🇸

Experience Liberty Over Aspire, a FREE, all-day celebration culminating in a breathtaking 3D patriotic drone spectacular unlike anything East Tennessee has ever seen. As hundreds of drones light up the night sky with soaring eagles and historic scenes, we’ll come together to honor our local heritage, the spirit of East Tennessee, and the American story that connects us all. 🦅

The fun starts at 10am, so come early to explore our beautiful property, relax by the water, and grab lunch, dinner, or drinks on-site! Stick around for the main event when the sky lights up at 9:45pm 🎆
