Clinton’s Red, White & Blue Fest Returns July 4th with Fireworks, Food, and Blues Star Power

The City of Clinton is rolling out the red, white, and blue carpet for the metro’s biggest Independence Day celebration! On Friday, July 4, Traceway Park will once again host the 35th Annual Red, White & Blue Fest — a family-friendly evening of music, food, games, and fireworks that promises fun for all ages.

This year’s celebration is turning up the volume with nationally acclaimed blues artist and Clinton native Jarekus Singleton headlining the evening’s entertainment. Known for his fiery guitar skills and magnetic stage presence, Singleton delivers a powerful, homegrown sound steeped in Mississippi roots. Opening the show is his brother, Keyrus A.T.G., whose soulful voice and dynamic performance style will kick off the musical lineup. Together, this talented duo brings a unique blend of family, faith, and blues to the big stage.

Gates open at 4:00 p.m., when attendees can explore a variety of food and beverage vendors and settle in for the festivities. The Fun Zone, also opening at 4:00 p.m., will feature games and activities to keep younger guests entertained all evening.

This year’s food lineup includes something for everyone’s taste buds, with offerings from Dad’s Dogs, Mazzio’s Pizza, Lucy’s Lemonade, Copeland’s BBQ, Snow Biz, and Brick Street Pops.

Live music begins at 5:45 p.m., leading up to Jarekus Singleton’s headlining performance at 7:15 p.m. The evening will conclude with a spectacular fireworks finale at 9:00 p.m., lighting up the Clinton sky in a brilliant tribute to America’s birthday.

Admission is free, with parking available for $10 per car (cash only). Guests are encouraged to come early, bring a picnic, and soak in the festive atmosphere. Tents, lawn chairs, and small coolers with non-alcoholic beverages are welcome. Please remember: Traceway Park is a smoke- and alcohol-free facility.

Now in its 35th year, the Red, White & Blue Fest is a beloved Clinton tradition — a celebration of community, music, and patriotism under the summer sky. Come join us and see why Clinton is the place to be this Fourth of July!
