Sylva's 10th annual Fireworks Festivities will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 4, 2024 at the Bridge Park.

 

The Jackson County Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome the band Gotcha Groove to the stage for a performance from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. They are one of the southeast's finest bands. They will perform classic hits, pop favorites, R&B, Motown, soul and beach music.

"We cannot thank these partners enough for their support of the chamber and their valuable part in providing fireworks for Sylva," Donaldson added.

 

In addition to music and fireworks, the Jackson County Parks and Recreation Department will be providing children's activities from 4-8 p.m.

"Don't miss the very beginning of the event at about 6:25 p.m., as the Jackson County Sheriff's Office Honor Guard will be presenting the flags for the National Anthem in a very special ceremony," added Kelly Donaldson, Assistant Director of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce. "This is always a powerful highlight of the event evoking lots of patriotic emotions."
