Freedom Fest 2016 - National Infantry Museum - Ft. Benning HD

This was filmed July 4th 2016 at the National Infantry Museum here in Ft. Benning/Columbus, Georgia. A DJI Phantom 4 was used for the aerial shots. The Freedom Fest is an annual event on Independence Day. This year it was held from 11 am to 5 pm. ALL DAY FUN Live cannon firings start at 11 a.m. and repeat every hour on the hour. The Columbus Historical Reenactors Association will set up a Civil War era campsite. Kid-favorite bounce houses, face and hair painting, balloon animals and Superheroes. In the museum’s Grand Hall, parents can get free fingerprint ID kits for their children through the GaCHIP program. Youngsters are invited to dress up their bicycles, tricycles, strollers and wagons – and themselves! – for the Pint-Sized Patriots Parade down Heritage Walk at noon. Onsite registration will begin at 11am the day of the event. Ages 12 and under. Email info@nationalinfantryfoundation.org for more information. At the end of the parade, eyes will turn to the skies as the Silver Wings parachute team jumps onto Inouye Field to deliver a copy of the Declaration of Independence. Live bands will perform throughout the day just outside the museum’s rotunda. Large tents will provide seating and shelter from the sun. The Giant Screen Theater will be the perfect place to cool off, with $5 tickets all day. Vendors will sell all of your favorite freedom foods: ice cream, barbecue plates, chicken sandwiches, funnel cakes, hot dogs, hamburgers, beer, frozen mocktails and soft drinks. The Fife and Drum Restaurant and Bar as well as the Rally Point Canteen concessions stand will be open for diners who’d rather stay indoors.
