Freedom Fest – City of Laurens

Freedom Fest is back on Friday, July 3, 2026, bringing live music, great food, family fun, and an unforgettable fireworks show to Downtown Laurens!

Whether you come for the music, the food, or just a fun night out with friends and family, Freedom Fest is the place to celebrate Independence Day in the Upstate.

Throughout the evening, Downtown Laurens will be filled with live music, great food, and a fun atmosphere for all ages. The stage in front of City Hall will host live performances throughout the night as the celebration carries on into the evening.

Live music all evening, featuring headliner, The Brook & The Bluff, The Tounds, and DJ Amber along with more entertainment throughout the night!

Food trucks and festive drink specials will be throughout downtown, but don’t forget to check out all of our local restaurants and businesses. Many downtown shops and restaurants will be open late with specials, shopping, and plenty of hometown hospitality.

We’ll close out the night with our annual fireworks show at 10 PM, lighting up the sky over Laurens and bringing the whole community together.

Grab your lawn chairs, throw on your red, white, and blue, and come celebrate with us in Downtown Laurens. We can’t wait to see you there!
