4th of July Festival
The Lowcountry’s biggest 4th of July fireworks show is back at Riverfront Park after a pandemic break last year. Guests attending the event are invited to bring lawn chairs and blankets, as there is no seating provided. Attendees are encouraged to bring plenty of water and snacks, if desired. There will be no kids zone this year as an extra precaution.

Freshfields Village’s annual Starlight Cinema on the Village Green is back and running all month. Guests can enjoy a free, family-friendly movie every week, starting with kid-favorite, Secret Life of Pets 2. Bring beach chairs and a blanket, kick back and enjoy the show.
