Carrboro Family
Fourth of July Celebration
Mon., July 4, 2016, 9:30am - 4:00pm at Carrboro Town Hall and Weaver St. Market. Celebrate the 4th of July in Carrboro with musical performances, a parade, exhibits, games and food. From our blog: The Carrboro 4th of July Parade is probably about as close to Mayberry as you can get in this modern age, but better than Mayberry too, due to the ultra-coolness factor of Carrboro, the Weaver Street Market, and great live music at the Carrboro town hall (along with fun kids’ crafts, activities and bouncy houses). Mayberry meets Paris of the Piedmont! We LOVE, love, love to see all of the fantastic handmade parade floats while our family joins in the Carrboro 4th of July Parade every year. Last year a family made a terrific red-white-and-blue rocket ship on wheels, with a cool celestial mobile suspended above the rocket, and cheerful children peeking out of the rocket’s windows. Excellence in independence design abounds at the Carrboro 4th of July parade! From the town website: "This annual event features Uncle Sam on Stilts, Balloon Sculpture Artists, Roaming Magicians, Face Painters, lots of games, food, and plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy! The Main stage always features nationally recognized musical talent, as well as local talent. Of course the Kids Fun Zone and Fun Zone Stage Stage will be back and better than ever! So come celebrate the birth of our nation! Make Uncle Sam proud! Put on your red, white, and blue. Wear a birthday hat, play a game, dance to the music, relax under the historic elm, and enjoy the best of this small town tradition."

| Chapel Hill
4th of July Celebration Mon. July 4, 2012, 7 - 10pm Doors open at 7pm; Fireworks begin at 9:30 pm sharp. Community celebration with fireworks and fun! Free entertainment and fireworks display in the University of North Carolina's Kenan Memorial Stadium. ** Donations of $1 per person or $5 for a family of five or more will also be accepted on the day of the event at the entrance gates to Kenan Stadium.*** Recommended parking is in the Craig, Dogwood and Cardinal Parking Decks off of Manning Drive. Disability parking available in the Bell Tower Lot. Parking also is available in downtown Chapel Hill at the Rosemary/Columbia Lot at 100 E Rosemary St., West Franklin Lot at 415 W. Franklin Street, the Wallace Parking Deck and smaller town lots. FOR MORE INFO: www.townofchapelhill.org/july4 Alcohol prohibited - no coolers, outside containers or food items allowed. ***** Note for families with babies and young children:
Since the Chapel Hill fireworks are fired in the stadium, surrounded
entirely by stadium seats, which produce echoes and amplify the firework
booms, they are extremely loud. Some find them to be much louder than
other fireworks displays (open air fireworks displays are not as loud as
these fireworks in the stadium). For some people the stadium fireworks
display may be too loud especially for babies and young children's sensitive
ears. For more info visit www.townofchapelhill.org/july4 |

| Cary Fourth of
July Celebration at Koka Booth Amphitheater, 8003 Regency Parkway, Cary,
NC 27511 Mon, July 4, 2016, 3:00 - 10:00 pm Fourth of July gathering with fireworks display; live musical entertainment. Fireworks rain or shine beginning at night fall. From our blog: In prior years we have enjoyed the fireworks in Cary, NC at Koka Booth Amphitheater, on the banks of the Amphitheater's lake, so that we could see the reflections of the fireworks on the surface of the water. So beautiful! It was worth the (long) walk back to our car with throngs of fellow fireworks watchers. The Cary, NC Koka Booth fireworks, concert and festivities are free, but if you pay for special seating tickets - rather than watching for free in the general audience as we did - you get premium picnic-style seating under the stars/fireworks with a great view of the NC symphony. Tickets for the premium seating with treats can be purchased in person at the Koka Booth Amphitheatre Box Office. General admission is FREE. 3 p.m. Gates Open to
Blankets, Lawn Chairs & Picnics
