A Fourth of July staple in Utah, Stadium of Fire was held once again at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo on Friday night.
Though Rascal Flatts headlined the evening with a concert, the event also featured many other patriotic acts, such as a tailgate event before the show and street-dancing event after the show — hosted by Miner Music DJ — the Stadium of Fire Dancers, a flyover from Utah’s Hill Air Force Base, skydivers, a drone show, various tributes to military and civilian heroes and, of course, a fireworks display to cap everything off.
As per Stadium of Fire tradition, the broadcast went out on the American Forces Network — televising it to more than one million military men and women in more than 100 countries.
