Colossal Fireworks
Written By: - NONE - | Issue: 2018/06 - June
What’s July 4th without fireworks? The Village Green is proud to provide this summer’s colossal fireworks display for the Cashiers area community. The Village Green will host Fireworks Extravaganza On the Green, a spectacular evening of entertainment for residents and visitors to enjoy as part of the Independence Day celebration.
The extravaganza will begin at 6:30 P.M. Friday, July 4, at The Village Green Commons on Frank Allen Road. The festivities include a live concert by the rhythm and blues band Continental Divide. The band plays all the classics from a wide variety of artists that will make you want to sing and get up out of your chair for Cashiers’ largest dance party! Bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on. Local food and beverages will be available for purchase but picnics and coolers are welcome.
The crowning moment of the night will be the magnificent fireworks show.
“Come to The Village Green and watch the rockets’ red glare, and every other color in the rainbow,” said Village Green Executive Director Ann Self. “This year’s show has more than 1,000 colorful salutes, crowns and brilliant bursts to light up the mountain night sky.”
Many small towns and communities have cut or drastically reduced fireworks displays in recent years because of financial constraints. The Village Green stepped up to ensure this would not be the case in Cashiers. To safeguard future and even more amazing fireworks for Cashiers, The Village Green collects donations for a community fireworks fund.
“Event goers will have the opportunity to make contributions at the entrances to The Village Green Commons” said Self. “We hope this grassroots effort will foster the spirit of community.”
The Village Green is a 13-plus acre park that was created to preserve the legacy of the bucolic mountain lifestyle. The Village Green is the beautiful, “green heart” for public use but relies on private funding to provide this exceptional venue for everyone to enjoy.
“Events like the fireworks extravaganza would not be possible without the generous support of our donors,” Self pointed out. For more information about The Village Green, visit villagegreencashiersnc.com.
