INDEPENDENCE DAY IN CHARLESTON

Nothing says Independence Day in Charleston like the smell of freshly cut grass, the sound of firecrackers, and burgers and sausages roasting on the grill. Sometimes simplicity is perfection, so for the perfect 4th of July celebration this year, take it to the park! 

An Independence Day Picnic is fun and accessible to any attendee. With picnic staples being a hotdog and burger in each hand, a sparkler in the sky, and your friends and families by your side, how could you go wrong? 

When you stay at The Restoration, you can prepare all of your side dishes and drinks ahead of time in your Residence’s full kitchen. Bloody Mary’s and Mimosas? Yes please! Throw those ingredients in a pitcher and set them to chill while you cut up your fruit for salads, slice buns, and pull together mouthwatering appetizers for your guests. Save the grilling for the park, so all you need to do is sit back and enjoy the day’s festivities. 

Here are our top spots to watch fireworks this July 4th:

  1. The Watch Rooftop Kitchen & Spirits, Charleston – Join us for a night of splendor above the city! We will be serving a BBQ dinner for you and your kids! Partake in smokey goodness while you watch the lights hit the sky.
  2. Broadway at the Beach, Myrtle Beach – Experience a patriotic pyrotechnic display while you listen to South Carolina’s best tribute artists play their hearts out. You won’t be disappointed by this performance!
  3. Wells Fargo Red, white, and Blue Festival, Greenville – With the Liberty Bridge as your backdrop, this 4th of July celebration is truly one for the books. Enjoy live music, kids’ play zone, and plenty of vendors offering food and drinks for lunchtime snackage. 
  4. Patriot’s Point Fourth of July Blast, Charleston – Watch fireworks from the flight deck of the historic USS Yorktown, the 10th aircraft carrier to serve in the U.S. Navy!
