4th of July Blast
Have a Blast at Patriots Point this Fourth of July!
Join Patriots Point and the Town of Mount Pleasant in celebrating our nation's freedom and liberty at the Fourth of July Blast.
Experience an action-packed evening with live music on two stages; a 'Kidz Zone' play area featuring eight attractions, including an 83-foot inflatable replica of an aircraft carrier; a 40-foot Ferris wheel; a food village and beverage garden and much more.
See and hear the heroic stories of our bravest soldiers with special admission to the USS Yorktown for only $5 after 5 PM (for those over the age of 5). Volunteer veterans from the WWII, Korea, Vietnam and Iraq Wars will be present to share their tales of honor and triumph.
To cap the night off, watch the spectacular fireworks blasted from the flight deck out over the Charleston harbor. Set to songs of liberty, the show promises to live up to its reputation as one of the 'Top 5 Independence Day Celebrations' as recognized by The New York Times.
