Cue Born in the USA, Proud to be an American, and Independence Day by Martina McBride (I had to add a little twang for my country heart.) Believe it or not, the Fourth of July is my favorite holiday, and just like Christmas has its carols, Independence Day has its melodies. Something about those proud tunes, warm weather, cookout food, and fireworks speaks to my soul.
With lots of tourists in town for the holiday and lots of different Independence Day celebrations, it can be hard to find the perfect spot to celebrate. Below are some of the best places around the grand strand to celebrate Independence Day, and trust me, you're guaranteed to see a fabulous fireworks show.
Broadway at the Beach
Fireworks will start at 10 p.m. at Broadway at the Beach, over Lake Broadway, in the middle of the massive shopping and dining complex.
