Join us on Main Street for our annual July 4th celebration.

Datrian Johnson will take the stage at 7, with fireworks from the Primary School ballfield at 9:15pm.

Food vendors will be set by 5:30pm offering barbecue, Indian food, Pizza, Lemonade, and Dippin dots in the Municipal Parking Lot. Treat yourself to a massage and learn about the historic Hillside Street Community Center while grabbing your food or hang in the Relaxation tent for some shade.

Restaurants and breweries will be open along Main Street. Leveller Brewing will be joined by Flat Tops LLC.

 

PLEASE REMEMBER:

• No dogs allowed.
  • According to studies, most dogs experience a “Fight or Flight” reflex when around loud noises like fireworks. It is better to leave your four-legged family members at the house. They may miss you, but they will thank you in the long run.
• No alcohol.
  • This shindig is family friendly, and everyone knows that family friendly shindigs don’t allow alcohol! Seriously, no alcohol allowed!
• No sparklers.
  • Why no sparklers (or any other types of fireworks) at a July 4th celebration? Simple, sparklers burn at 1200 degrees! There will be thousands of people occupying a small area, and the chances that someone will get injured is high!

SUGGESTIONS FOR HAVING A GREAT TIME:

• Wear sunscreen. If you plan on arriving prior to 5 o’clock pm, the sun’s rays are still dangerous. As my grandfather would always tell me, “The skin issues I have now, came from sun exposure decades ago!”
• Bring water. July is hot, and when you are having fun, you may not realize how much fluid your body has lost. Bring a couple bottles of water to help keep dehydration under control.
• Be patient. It’s easy to get in a hurry! Hurry to get here, hurry to park, hurry to find a good spot in front of the stage, hurry to get the great treats from the vendors. Take an extra moment to plan your day so that your 4th doesn’t seem to be more of a hurried bother than a relaxing day of celebration.
• Community policing mindset. The Weaverville Police Department is charged with the safety of the community on a broad basis. All citizens should be mindful of any suspicious or illegal activity and report it immediately! There will be several uniformed officers at the event as well as two units from our new bicycle patrol division. Report any suspicious or illegal activity to one of these officers or call 911.

*Town Hall and Town Offices are closed July 4, 2024, and will reopen July 5th.
