Independence Day sparks so many feelings and memories. Filled with cookouts, boating, and fireworks, this holiday is one of our favorites. If you live in or are visiting the Charleston area this holiday, you’re sure to have plenty of fun options for the holiday. While some events and celebrations have been cancelled due to COVID, we gathered a short list of some fun Charleston 4th of July events still happening!
