FORT BRAGG, N.C. (WTVD) — <\/span>Service members, veterans and their families gathered at Fort Bragg for the annual Red, White and Boom Fest, a large-scale celebration honoring America’s 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n

Despite some early showers, the event’s energy remained high as attendees filled the Main Post Parade Field to mark America’s 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n

The celebration began with a performance by the 82nd Airborne Division Band and a demonstration by an all-veteran parachute team. Organizers also brought in national musical acts spanning rock, country and pop.<\/p>\n

Attendees described the atmosphere as patriotic and community-driven.<\/p>\n

“It feels like one large family,” said U.S. Coast Guard member Correna Ambrose. “Family-friendly, patriotic, community, unity.”<\/p>\n

The festival also includes a headlining performance by The Fray and followed by a fireworks display.<\/p>\n

Red, White and Boom Fest is one of several events across central North Carolina leading up to Fourth of July celebrations.<\/a>
