The largest firework show in South Carolina is BACK
North Charleston's 4th of July event is BACK and once again showcasing the Lowcountry's largest 4th of July fireworks show on Sunday, July 4, 7-10pm. Fireworks at dark and music by DJ Natty Heavy.
We had some guest hanging out and loving the views at Riverfront Park. We contacted Colin Hewitt, a local from Park Circle. He did an amazing job collecting the bees and not harming them in anyway. He is relocating them to a local bee farm. Thank you for coming out Colin!
