Freedom Festival is Sumner County's largest Independence Day celebration. Anchored in the center of Hendersonville, Drakes Creek Park offers expansive views of the Firework show along with hosting numerous vendors, providing fun, food and non-stop activities. Freedom Festival began in 2004 as a way to give back to our local schools through the Hendersonville Chamber Foundation and the Golden Apple Gala. Over the years, because of your support, the Chamber Foundation has gifted nearly a half a million dollars in Grants to support our schools.
