And while we don’t have any specific events listed, for those living near Lake Keowee or Lake Hartwell, local communities and marinas will also display fireworks over the lake. We encourage local residents to check with nearby parks & marinas to see if they’ll be events near them. No matter how you celebrate, we hope you have a fun and safe July 4th!
