July 4th, Independence Day, is just around the corner and there are some fun things going on in Raleigh. Many travel this time of year for the holiday and are at the beach. This year with Independence Day being on a Tuesday, it might not be so easy for some and work out to travel. No worries there because there is plenty to do right here in town.
Several areas in the Triangle will actually celebrate the holiday. The Wake Forest Fireworks Spectacular will take place July 3, 5:30-9:30 p.m., at the Wake Forest High School Stadium. Get ready for some beach music as you listen to The Band of Oz. Admission is $5, with children 6 and under free to attend. An array of food options will be available including food trucks, hamburgers, hot dogs, popcorn and more. Also on July 3 the town of Morrisville will have a fireworks display at the Morrisville Community Park. Fireworks will start at dark. Garner and Fuquay-Varina will also have their Independence Day celebrations the day before the holiday.
Grab some lawn chairs, blankets and head over to Brier Creek Commons for the 10th Annual Brier Creek 4th of July Fireworks, 7-9 p.m. It’s a party and everyone is invited! There will be fun for the entire family with bounce houses, games, face painting, fireworks and more.
On the morning of July 4th at 10:30 a.m., there will be a parade in Wendell celebrating and showing appreciation for Independence and everything it means. At Koka Booth Amphitheatre will be the Town of Cary’s July 4th Celebration, 3-10 p.m.
