The parade was the first of a series of events downtown that also included an ice cream social and watermelon eating contest among elected leaders.

• Independence Day Fireworks Display blasts off at dark. Fireworks may be viewed from downtown Hendersonville and the south side of town near the intersection of U.S. 25 and U.S. 276. A large red balloon will be launched the morning of the 4th to signify visibility of the fireworks show; if you can see the balloon, you can see the fireworks.
