This massive Independence Day celebration in downtown Raleigh kicks off early in the day with live music, hot dog-eating contests, BMX stunt shows and more until the grand finale of fireworks light up the sky at 9:30pm in two different locations —you’ll want to be at Red Hat Amphitheater or on Fayetteville St. for the best views. Three stages of live entertainment spanning more than a quarter-mile in the city center make this a can’t-miss event!
