Alexander City Celebrate Freedom

07/14/2026

It’s been just under two weeks since Alexander City Celebrate Freedom 2026, and we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to the incredible sponsors who made it all possible.
As many of you know, this event isn’t easy—or inexpensive—to put on. But everyone who joins us year after year understands that we strive to deliver only the very best: top-tier staging, lights, sound, equipment, fireworks, security, entertainment and so much more. The sponsors listed below are the reason we’re able to continue bringing Alexander City’s biggest event to life!
We are especially thankful for the continued support from the City of Alexander City, and we are truly grateful to the Alexander City school system for providing us with a home to host this celebration. Their partnership means the world to us.
With that said, please take a moment to look through our list of sponsors. Support their businesses, churches, and organizations—and if you get the chance, personally tell them thank you for supporting Celebrate Freedom! Their generosity keeps this tradition thriving by celebrating God, Country, and our great City!
We’re already excited for 2027, and we can’t wait to see you there!

WOW!!! What an incredible night at the 2026 Alexander City Celebrate Freedom event!
The weather was perfect, the crowd was huge, and the energy was off the charts. Every act brought their best—and Rhett Walker absolutely lit up the stage with an unforgettable performance!

And of course, Pyrotecnico delivered another jaw‑dropping firework finale that closed out the night in spectacular fashion.

This was our biggest and most expensive year yet, but our sponsors stepped up in a major way to keep this event going strong. They truly showed out, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We hope you saw their names shining bright on the video screens last night—please support them and let them know how much their generosity means to our community.

Thank YOU, Alexander City, for showing up, celebrating with us, and continuing to support this event year after year. You make Celebrate Freedom what it is.

Stay tuned—more photos, videos, and a full sponsor list are coming!
