Hendersonville will celebrate Independence Day with a Fourth of July parade, music on two stages, family fun and the big fireworks show at dark.
Sponsored by the Hendersonville Merchants and Business Association, the Fourth of July parade will roll at 10:30 a.m. Parade entries line up at 9 a.m. on Main Street, south of Caswell Street.
No parking will be allowed along the parade route on Main Street after 6 a.m. July 4. Main Street will be closed at 9 a.m., with the avenues remaining open until 15 minutes before the parade begins. While normally downtown is pet friendly, furry friends must be left comfortably at home on the Fourth of July.
The evening celebration starting at 5 p.m. features live music at the Historic Courthouse and Visitors Center, food trucks and a kids zone. The event is organized by Henderson County Parks & Recreation, Henderson County Tourism Development Authority and the Arts Council of Henderson County.
At dark, the fireworks show culminates the celebration. The exhibit can be seen from either concert location — the Welcome Center stage and the Historic Courthouse Square — and surrounding areas. Look for the big red balloon in the sky on the morning of July 4 to find your viewing spot. If you can see the balloon, you’ll be able to see the fireworks.
WTZQ is partnering with the company putting on Henderson County’s fireworks show to air the soundtrack to this year’s spectacular. Just bring a radio to your favorite viewing place or tune your car radio to 95.3 FM to enjoy the fireworks with the patriotic music.
City government offices will be closed in observance of Independence Day on July Fourth. Garbage, recycling and brush collection for city customers will not be taking place on July 4. Collection for Tuesday customers will be delayed by one week with collection resuming on Tuesday, July 11.
