The town’s fireworks display this year is not taking place at Bogue Pier as it has in years past. Instead this year Emerald Isle’s Fourth of July Celebration will take place at McLean Park. It’s set to get going at 9:30pm.
If you’re not sure of where McLean Park is in Emerald Isle its near mile marker 18.
Just a reminder in North Carolina many fireworks are illegal. This includes anything explosive or aerial, roman candles, and rockets or similar devices.
You can and will likely get a ticket in Emerald Isle for igniting these types of fireworks. Don’t ask me how I know this. I’m unsure about watching the fireworks in Emerald Isle this year though, since they won’t be at Bogue Inlet Pier.
I always thought that was a wonderful way to celebrate the Fourth of July. It is unfortunate the town and the owner of the pier couldn’t come to an agreement on their sign at the end of Bogue Inlet Dr. Instead they forced Mr. Stanley to remove his sign.
While it is saddening that the Emerald Isle fireworks won’t take place at the pier, I really don’t blame the pier owner for his decision. Why work with them, if they can’t work with you?
I hope you make it out to this year’s fireworks. I’m sure I’ll find somewhere to watch them. Happy Fourth of July!
