Ingles Independence Day celebration to be held at Memorial Stadium in downtown Asheville

ASHEVILLE – The City of Asheville will hold the Ingles Independence Day Celebration at Memorial Stadium in downtown Asheville on Sunday, July 3.

This is a free event for the whole family, with festivities starting at 4 p.m. and concluding with a grand finale fireworks display at 9:30 p.m.

There will be a wide range of family activities, including free face painting, old-fashioned family games, inflatable rides, musical entertainment, and much more.

The Sons of the American Revolution will return again this year to offer a patriotic tribute to our country. There will also be a variety of food from local vendors, as well as Budweiser and Pepsi products for sale.

“We are glad we were able to find a temporary alternative that meets all safety regulations and allows the city to keep the fireworks downtown. Next year’s fireworks display will be redesigned which should allow us to move the event back to Pack Square Park,” said Parks Recreation and Cultural Arts Director Roderick Simmons.
