For bringing TVG’s Fourth of July Extravaganza!
Come one, come all! This Independence Day, come on out to The Village Green for an evening of music, family fun, and of course, fireworks.
The annual “Fireworks Extravaganza on the Green” will take place at 6:30 p.m., RAIN OR SHINE, on Monday, July 4th on The Village Green Commons Lawn. Entertainment will be provided in the form of the rhythm and blues band Continental Divide, a visit from The Victory Belles who put on an amazing performance by a lively trio singing choreographed numbers popular during WWII, and a 30-minute firework show featuring over 1,000 colorful bursts!I
Admission to the event is free, however, donations will be collected to help with the cost of the event. Many small communities have eliminated fireworks from their celebrations due to the costs of a large pyrotechnic display, but The Village Green believes it is important to preserve this patriotic tradition for the Cashiers community.
To make your July 4th experience as streamlined and easy as possible, we will have four, local vendors purveying food and drinks: WanderView Hospitality (artisanal charcuterie boxes), Buck’s Coffee Cafe (Wine and Beer), and Crossroad’s Custard (Frozen Custard and Sweet Treats).
