Southport’s 250-Year Independence Celebration
Southport, North Carolina, celebrates 250 years of American independence with its epic Fourth of July Festival, kicking off June 26th and running through July 4th. The week kicks off with historic reenactments, a patriotic flotilla, and a naturalization ceremony headlined by UNCW Chancellor Aswani Volety. Kids get their own zone with inflatables and a petting zoo, while downtown buzzes with vendors, live music, and a parade followed by fireworks. A trolley service helps navigate the traffic-free streets — it’s nine days of nonstop local pride and patriotic fun. Support the show:Get a discount…
