And Wild 95.5 will “Let It Rock” with popular music star Kevin Rudolf

(June 9, 2009 – West Palm Beach, FL)  This year the City of West Palm Beach will Let Freedom Ring at 4th on Flagler 2009.  This year’s event will feature a meaningful bell ceremony to honor all those who serve (or have served) our country, and attendees will be given small bells to help honor our military by ringing before the start of the fireworks show.  While the event site will move slightly south along Flagler Drive due to construction of the new waterfront project, guests can still enjoy all of the great 4th on Flagler traditions including the unfurling of a giant American flag, an All-American kids’ area and the Firefighters’ Splash and Dash competition.  Guests can also enjoy two stages of great entertainment culminating with the Wild Hour after the fireworks when Wild 95.5 will present the hugely popular national recording artist, Kevin Rudolf (Let It Rock and Welcome to the World).  Residents and visitors are all invited to enjoy the fireworks, food, concerts and fun along our City’s stunning waterfront as they Let Freedom Ring and Let It Rock in West Palm Beach!
