Triangle Area 4th of July Fireworks Show
Looking for some activities to do this weekend as well as watch some fireworks? OR maybe you need to know what places to avoid for traffic reasons. Here's a list I've found with all the fun things to do.
My recommendation to have a great experience
- Arrive Early, especially for popular events like in Raleigh.
- Consider carpooling with friends or shuttle.
- Visit Raleigh, Visit Durham or check the city pages on rules for pets and alcohol.
- Check out the family friendly events that start earlier which will include parages and kid activities.
