July 4th Celebration Set for Heritage Park

Independence Day at Charter Amphihteatre in Simpsonville, featuring the Greenville Symphony Orchestra, returns this year with great music, fireworks, and a free Kids Zone.

The gates will open at 5:30 p.m. for children’s activities, which include bounce houses, face painting, and balloon animals; the Greenville Symphony Orchestra concert will begin at 8 p.m. Crowd favorite, Cannoneers, are returning this year to thrill audiences with their contribution to the finale of the 1812 Overture, followed by an awe-inspiring fireworks display.

Additionally, the concert is also offering a VIP Package to include premier seating, parking and complimentary food and beverages. VIP Tables include 6 seats, VIP parking passes, dinner and drinks. Individual VIP tickets are also available.
