July 4th Celebration

Join the town of Blowing Rock for games, music, and fun! Free entertainment all day, plus the best small-town Main Street parade you’ll find anywhere. All events take place in downtown Blowing Rock, except the fireworks which will be set off from Blowing Rock Country Club. Find the games and music in Memorial Park on Main Street.

*PLEASE NOTE: The Parade time has been changed! The day’s festivities will begin with the Parade at 10am. In addition, Main Street will be closed to parking from midnight the night before, to just after the parade on July 4th. No parking on Main Street for the parade will ensure better visibility and safety.
