Locals and folks visiting the Beaufort area are again in for a treat as the Town of Port Royal will be putting on its Independence Day Celebration and fireworks for the 4th of July.
After your done with the day full of boating, relaxing, barbecuing and having fun with family and friends, get on down to The Sands for more fun and fireworks.
The festivities at The Sands start at noon and you’ll enjoy lots of family fun including good eats and drinks that will help combat the heat we usually have here in the Lowcountry.
Live entertainment goes all day long on two different stages; one at the Community Beer Garden, and the other near the boardwalk entrance.
Local Boy Scouts will be on hand serving hot dogs and burgers, as well as 13 Scoops selling ice cream. Food trucks will be set up inside the Community Beer Garden, including Fly Pies, Time To Eat and a Taco Truck.
The entertainment includes live music with Austin Williams from 2pm – 4pm at the Community Beer Garden Stage, Esquires from 4pm – 6pm at the Main Stage,
Campfire Tyler from 6pm – 8pm again at the Community Beer Garden Stage, and the Marine Corps Rock Band will perform from 8pm until the fireworks start, again over at the Main Stage.
According to the Town of Port Royal, free parking on Paris Avenue and side streets will be available and the Road to the Sands landing will be shut down effective midnight prior to the 4th of July for all traffic including boats with trailers. 7th Street will also be closed to all traffic except for residents that live on that street.
Food and beverage will be available beginning at noon. Parking on Paris Avenue and side streets will be free to the public. Handicap parking will be available and directed to by Town police officers.
The fireworks at The Sands are put on by East Coast Pyrotechnics and usually begin around 915pm.
Yes, what better way to celebrate the 4th of July in Beaufort than fireworks, family fun and community at the Sands in Port Royal.
It’s a lot of fun and you won’t find a better place to enjoy a night of celebrating.
