The Downtown Asheville Independence Day Celebration is held annually and often takes place in Pack Square Park on the Fourth of July. Throughout the day there is a parade that features local floats, performers, and political figures as they make their way along the route, and there are also children’s activities to keep the family entertained. Live music typically begins around evening time, and there is food and beverage available for purchase. The annual fireworks will begin later in the evening after sunset, and you can often get the best view from Pack Square Park, as views from elsewhere in the city tend to be partially blocked by buildings.
