We’re celebrating Fourth of July with fireworks around the Lenovo Center and Carter-Finley Stadium.  We enjoyed having our fireworks show out at Dix Park. This year, we’re throwing it back to the stadium complex for a firework-focused event.  Parking opens at 6 p.m. and fireworks start at 9:30 p.m.
