Independence Day Celebration

The event takes place at South Park (900 S Main St, Fuquay-Varina, NC 27526), and gates open at 6 pm.

The fireworks show is weather dependent, but generally begins after 9:15 when it is dark outside.

Event parking is available at 308 Jones Road. Accessible parking is available at the Community Center (820 S Main St, Fuquay-Varina, NC 27526).

When the lots are full, attendees may find public parking in Downtown Fuquay or at Fleming Loop Park.

Be aware of marked “no-parking” areas. Follow the direction of police officers as they direct traffic, and please be patient with traffic.

Yes, the event is rain or shine unless thunder or lightning is present.

South Park provides a safe distance between attendees and fireworks, while also allowing space for food vendors and attendees to view the concert and fireworks.

There are more fireworks vendors available on July 1 due to decreased availability of vendors since the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Additionally, holding the event on the weekend kicks off the holiday season and extends your celebration. Attendees are able to attend multiple events during the July 4 week, or spend Independence Day at home after celebrating with the community on Saturday.
