Fireworks Light the Mountains

July 4th across Blue Ridge and Copperhill brings parades, rodeos, and fireworks that reflect off the lake and echo through the peaks.

July 4th in the Blue Ridge

The mountains come alive this weekend. Downtown Blue Ridge hosts the Old Timers' Parade and fireworks over the lake at 9:30 PM. Just south, McCaysville and Copperhill celebrate with an all-American rodeo, farmers market, and a massive fireworks display. Wake in your cabin, slip into town for the morning festivities, and return to the quiet of the ridge as evening falls and the sky lights up.
