Tips for 4th of July from ACSO and Fireworks Video
Fireworks video from June 30 Town of Beech Mtn Independence Day
The Town of Beech Mountain was a welcome relief to many folks this weekend from sweltering triple digit heat indexes off the mountain.
Not only was it a good place to enjoy some cool mountain air, but also a great place to celebrate Independence Day.
This is one of the High Country’s premier Independence Day celebrations, and is a joint effort from the Chamber of Commerce, Town of Beech Mountain and Beech Mountain Volunteer Firemen.
The celebration began with the pig roast that had been roasted all day and was cut up in front of the crowd, after that live music and lots of kids, activities were enjoyed.
The evening concluded with a spectacular professional fireworks display.
