Event Details
The fun starts in Louisburg at 6 p.m. with great food, fun activities for the kids and musical entertainment before fireworks light up the sky around 9:30 p.m.
Several area organizations will have or will sponsor booths with games for the kiddos, face painting and give-aways including water, snow cones, popcorn, cotton candy, homemade cookies and more.
The local American Legion will be giving rides to the little ones on their Legion train.
The event is free with a free-will donation taken at the gate to help offset the cost of the fireworks. Area businesses generously support the fireworks fund. It will cost about $9,000 to produce the fireworks show this year.
There are a few items at the celebration that will require money to include the food trucks and the inflatables. Inflatables tickets are $1 each, seven for $5 or the all-you-can-ride wristband for $10.
