Evansville Freedom Festival
- Evansville Freedom Festival
The Evansville Freedom Festival is an annual festival in Evansville, Indiana that celebrates the Fourth of July. What began in 1970 with only a handful of events has grown to include unlimited hydroplane racing, airshows, food booths, dances, and music culminating with a fireworks show over the Evansville riverfront.
Since 1979, the Thunder on the Ohio hydroplane races have been the signature event of the Evansville Freedom Festival. Thunder is the first official race of the American Boat Racing Association season, and draws boats and drivers from all over the country as well as some local favorites.

The United States Navy's Blue Angels have been an added attraction in recent years. The Blue Angels were part of the Freedom Festival's air show in both 2001 and 2005.
