LENOIR CITY — Featuring three bands, a fireworks show, a Patriotic Ceremony and lots of great food and fun in-between, 25th Annual Rockin’ the Docks happens in Lenoir City Park from 1 p.m. to the end of the fireworks show (which starts at 10 p.m.) on Independence Day, Friday, July 4. “It’s at our cove area there along the water just beside the Fort Loudoun Dam,” said Zack Cusick, Lenoir City Parks & Recreation director who is heading up the event. “People who normally come should expect great food, great music and an awesome fireworks show. “ Though the event is free of charge, “If you come by car, we do ask for a donation at parking,” Cusick said. “It’s any donation — just to help offset the cost. “Our food vendors will be ready to serve at 1 o’clock, and then our first band will go at 5 p.m. (Mike Snodgrass and the Whisker Funk); second band at 6:30 (p.m., RMS Band). We’ll have the Patriotic Ceremony about 8 o’clock, and then our third band starts at 8:30 (p.m., WIMZ Garage Band), finishing up about 10 (p.m.),” he added. “That’s when we’ll shoot off the fireworks. Bands will perform just down right by the water in our open grass field area.”
