ArticleAn Endless Summer

Endless Summer Event SeriesThis month’s edition of ReVisit Your Senses features four of July’s
great events in Lake Lure & the Blue Ridge Foothills.  But there’s much more going on in July: street dances continue, and a gold dig is on, for starters.  And in August, we’ll have the largest car show in the state,
and the largest sports festival in western North Carolina.  So go to www.EndlessSummerSeries.com for the details on it all, and then come stay with us!

4th of July FireworksSo you haven’t made your plans for the 4th?  We have not one but
two 4th of July parties in Lake Lure & the Blue Ridge Foothills to answer your dilemma.   Both are full of the fun activities you remember and fireworks ending the day with a bang. 

In the refreshingly small downtown of Spindale, enjoy the
“Hometown” Fourth of July.  From 2 PM to 10 PM, arts, crafts, food, live music, kids’ activities and a car show will fill your day.  Fireworks are at 9 PM. 
Click here
for more information.

If you want your fireworks by the water, then head to Lake Lure for a “Family Fun Festival” from Noon until 8 PM, with fireworks following
at 9 PM.  At the Family Fun Festival, you will find a bubble tent, tie-dye station, misting station, and more.  Click here for more information.
