Boomsday was an annual fireworks celebration that took place on Labor Day weekend in Knoxville, Tennessee.
It was the largest Labor Day firework show in the United States,[1] and was considered a top attraction in the region.
[1] Fireworks were set off from the Henley Street Bridge (to a lesser extent Baptist Hospital and the Gay Street Bridge) and spectators could view the show from the riverfront, hillsides, or on boats from the Tennessee River.
Other musical selections included Smoke on the Water from Deep Purple, the theme from Jaws, and Born to Be Wild from Steppenwolf, just to name a few.
In July 2015, organizers announced that 2015 would be the final Boomsday, stating that the city loses approximately $100,000 per year hosting the event.
