The 36^th annual 4^th of July Celebration on Lake Murray will take place on Saturday, June 29

3,000 fireworks will light up the skies above Lake Murray in a patriotic display of celebration this Saturday! Capital City/Lake Murray Country Regional Tourism Board (CCLMC) is proud to host the 36^th annual 4^th of July Celebration on Lake Murray on Saturday, June 29^th, presented by Lexington Medical Center.

“We wish everyone a happy and safe 4^th of July from the Jewel of South Carolina! Since the beginning, we have carried the tradition of hosting the fireworks show on the Saturday before the 4^th of July. We know families like to plan their parties, vacations, and reunions during this time and it also helps keep the event consistent each year as we join together to celebrate our nation’s independence,” stated Miriam Atria, President/CEO of CCLMC.
