ARDEN: Independence Day Celebration at Lake Julian

The fireworks at lake Julian will be back on the fourth of July again this year! Music, boating, picnics, food trucks, and FIREWORKS! This is buncombe county’s biggest fireworks display. Come out, bring the family, grill and play on the lake. The fireworks are scheduled to begin just after dark, but Buncombe County Parks & Recreation recommends arriving earlier to allow ample time to park and board the shuttle.

Get your lawn chairs and blankets ready! From fireworks to food trucks to yard games, there will be plenty of fun in store for all! Food trucks will be at the park from 2 to 9 p.m. There will also be an activity station where cornhole bags and horseshoes can be checked out. Disc golf and fishing will be open on the backside of the park closest to Hendersonville Road (56 Fisherman’s Trail). Please note that boat launching is not available on the backside of Lake Julian Park.
