Local Fourth of July Celebration

Due to construction of the brand new Sylva Library at the old county courthouse, the Fourth of July fireworks display in Sylva has been cancelled.

No worries, Bear Lake Reserve will still be doing our own fireworks display on Friday, July 3rd at 9:15pm at the Lake Club.

Saturday, July 4th, the town of Cashiers, NC (20 min south of BLR) is hosting several events throughout the day. At the Village Green, from 11am right up until the fireworks begin, there will be bluegrass and mountain music at the Cashiers Mountain Music Festival. Cost is $20 for adults, $5 for kids aged 6-12, and free for children under 6.

If you just have fireworks on the brain, you can park anywhere around town and view them as they are set off above the community center. Fireworks begin after dark.
