Red, White & Blue
Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: June 2024
Two evenings of pyrotechnics and pride mark Cashiers’ and Glenville’s Fourth of July celebrations.
Bring out the red, white, and blue and join your friends and neighbors as the skies over Cashiers and Lake Glenville explode with colorful fireworks this Fourth of July. As in years past, you’ll have the opportunity to celebrate with your community at not one but two sparkling displays.
The annual Fireworks Extravaganza on The Green, presented by Landmark Realty Group, will take place on Wednesday, July 3, at 6:00 P.M., rain or shine, on The Village Green Commons Lawn. Entertainment will start at 6:00 with the Cashiers Community Chorus, followed by The Caribbean Cowboys, local favorites who have been entertaining audiences for over 30 years.
Fireworks follow at approximately 9:30. Admission is free; however, donations will be collected to help with the cost of the event. The Village Green relies on the generosity of donations to continue bringing this event for free to the community.
Plan to bring lawn chairs and prepare to get comfortable and enjoy all the evening’s events. Food and beverages will be available for purchase from Elevated Kitchen, Innovation Brewing, and Crossroads Custard. Please leave dogs at home due to the nature of the event.
A portion of Frank Allen Road will be closed starting at 6:00 P.M. and will not reopen until after the fireworks show. Parking will be limited along Frank Allen Road.
We know that rousing pyrotechnic displays simply whetted your appetite for more, so you’re in luck as the 27th annual Friends of Lake Glenville Fireworks Over The Lake, will be held on Friday, July 5, at approximately 9:30 PM. Everyone is invited to gather safely in their watercraft or on land to enjoy this always spectacular celebration.
There are great viewing opportunities off 107 N along the roadside from near Hamburg Baptist Church (south to the pullover/open areas along the lake). Be sure to have your vehicle entirely off the road and be mindful of traffic. Fireworks are held rain or shine, unless dangerous conditions develop, such as lightning.
The Friends of Lake Glenville is responsible for the organization and financing of this event and relies exclusively on private contributions from Sponsors and attendees. If you’d like to contribute, visit FriendsOfLakeGlenville.com/ Fireworks to donate.
Of course, neither of these events would be possible without the cooperation of the Cashiers-Glenville Fire Department, so here’s a big shout out to those dedicated men and women who keep us safe.
