Event Details

The Town of Summerville Fireworks and Freedom Festival is held annually on July 4 at Gahagan Park. You won’t want to miss out on this FREE family-friendly event with live music, food, fireworks, a kid’s zone, and loads of fun!

What you can bring:
Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, umbrellas, and water. Attendees can bring small lunch box-sized personal coolers.

What NOT to bring:
No large coolers. No pets, tents of any size, personal fireworks, grills of any type, alcohol. Alcohol will be for sale at the event from Carolina Ale House and must be enjoyed in the designated area only.

Parking:
Onsite parking at Gahagan Park is extremely limited. Handicapped parking will be available directly next to the event in the front lot located off of W. Boundary St. Additional parking is also available in the open field behind the Gahagan Park Playground (enter from and exit onto W. Boundary St.). Parking is not permitted along Butler St. or W. Boundary St. Attendees are encouraged to carpool to the event or park offsite and ride the shuttles provided.

Shuttle:
Shuttles will run on a constant loop between one offsite parking location and Gahagan Park starting at 5 p.m. and continuing through 10 p.m. We will have just one shuttle stop for 2024 with two buses running between that location and the park.

The shuttle will pick up/drop off near the fountain area of the Town Hall parking lot at 200 S. Main St. You can park in the garage or anywhere else in Downtown Summerville and walk to meet the shuttle at this stop.
