America's Bash

America’s Bash is an annual Fourth of July celebration held in Johnson City, Tennessee, bringing the community together for live music, entertainment, and a tribute to veterans. The 2026 event takes place July 4 at Whisper, at 2225 Eddie Williams Road, and marks the 250th anniversary of the United States. Presented by the Hatley Family, the celebration features country artists Lee Brice and Randy Houser, alongside a veteran tribute, a flyover, and a drone show.

Admission tickets are free, with guests encouraged to secure tickets in advance. The event also offers seating and dining areas, and ticket holders can enter Whisper’s golf cart giveaway at the entrance. A central part of America’s Bash is recognizing veterans by sharing their stories and granting wishes, such as family vacations, home upgrades, or meaningful experiences.

Selected veterans and two guests are invited to attend a special tribute. Visitors can also take part by volunteering. The event provides guest guidelines, including a clear-bag-only policy and restrictions on outside alcohol, coolers, pets, and other items
