WRVL/Lynchburg (The Journey) along with Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg,  hosted 15,000 people for Celebrate America!  There were dozens of inflatables, games, prizes and face painting for the kids.  The Journey provided the soundtrack for the event which stretched across three football fields and several parking lots.  The Journey also synchronized patriotic music with the huge fireworks display. Thousands of people that were not on site, could still tune in to The Journey and enjoy the music and fireworks from their vantage point.
