Kenan Stadium will hold the town of Chapel Hill’s annual fireworks display for the Fourth of July holiday on Tuesday.

Independence Day is just a few days away so it’s time to start planning some fun activities for you and the family.

As always, Kenan Stadium is planning on hosting its annual fireworks display for attendees and it should be another great one.

The Town of Chapel Hill will host its fireworks show at the stadium, allowing families to watch from inside. The event will kickoff at 7 p.m. with activities for all ages.

Donations of $1 per person or $5 per family are recommended.

The city will shut down Stadium Drive to the public to accommodate the event but will have parking near the venue available.

Chapel Hill recommends parking in the Craige, Jackson and Cardinal decks, for easy access to the stadium for the event.

With plenty of activities scheduled for families, you want to make sure you get there early enough to enjoy them all.

It also doesn’t hurt to make sure you get a good seat for the event!

The town recently put out a release about fireworks safety and Fourth of July events going around the town, including the show at Kenan Stadium:

"“The safest way to enjoy fireworks is by attending a public fireworks display, like the Town of Chapel Hill’s July Fourth Celebration at UNC-Chapel Hill’s Kenan Stadium,” says Chapel Hill Fire Marshal Tommy Gregory. “Small, consumer fireworks burn at very hot temperatures and can be extremely dangerous with the potential to cause life-changing injuries. If you do use sparklers and other fireworks that are legal in Chapel Hill, do so in a safe place with adequate options to extinguish them.”"

If you’ve been to one of these events in the past, you know it’s a blast. The town always does a great job of putting on a fireworks show at the stadium, helping residents enjoy the mid-Summer holiday.

With only a small donation asked, it’s certainly worth making the trip down to Kenan to enjoy the show.

Have a safe and happy Fourth of July from everyone here at Keeping It Heel.
