CALENDAR, July 2+: Lots to do for July 4 celebration, more

Staff reports | There are lots of ways to enjoy the mid-week July 4 holiday in the Lowcountry. If you’re looking for great places to watch fireworks, we suggest that you get on the top of some tall building … because you can see more than one display on the holiday night. Our past favorite: The round Holiday Inn on the Ashley River. (It’s air-conditioned and you can get a beer!)

Some fireworks venues and locations to enjoy the shows:

CALENDAR, July 3+: Lots of fireworks, events around Lowcountry

Staff reports | About all you have to do is open your eyes and ears Tuesday around dusk to experience Independence Day fireworks. And if you want a preview of the festivities, check out the fireworks tonight at The Joe on Fishburne Street after the 6:35 p.m. game with the Augusta GreenJackets (It should be good – the ‘Dogs walloped Augusta 11-4 Saturday and then the ‘Jackets shut out the ‘Dogs last night.)

You can find fireworks and holiday festivals on Tuesday in North Charleston at Riverfront Park; Summerville’s Gahagan Park; Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant; and just down the street at Mount Pleasant Pier, which will have the Uncle Sam Jam (see below); and at the S.C. Aquarium in Charleston.

GOOD NEWS: Be careful with pets, fireworks on the Fourth

Staff reports | The Fourth of July can be a lot of fun for people, but scary for pets. With that in mind, the Charleston Animal Society reminds us that the holiday is the most dangerous day of the year for pets because fireworks often scare them, causing them to run away and get lost.
