Lake Murray’s 37th annual Independence Day Celebration lights up the sky Saturday, June 28, with SC’s largest fireworks show. At dark (around 9:15 p.m.), twin displays will launch from Spence and Dreher Islands, set to patriotic music on 93.1 The Lake and streamed live on WIS News 10.
Best views? By boat or from Dreher Island State Park ($3 adults, $1.50 seniors, $1 kids). The fireworks highlight a weekend of “Spirit of Americana” events, including the Great Race Grand Finish in Irmo the following day, Sunday, June 29, where vintage cars will roll into Moore Park.
Heads up: The annual boat parade is on pause this year due to dam construction. In case of thunderstorms, the fireworks will shift to Sunday. If you Google Lake Murray fireworks and see something about a cancellation, that’s San Diego. Ours in the Midlands is full steam ahead.
