For Immediate Release:

Cape Hatteras: July 4th Celebration Rescheduled in Avon

Due to the approaching tropical storm Arthur, the Avon Fireworks Committee, Avon Property Owners’ Association, Koru Village, Pyrotecnico, and DareCounty have made a joint decision to reschedule the July 4th fireworks show on the Avon Fishing Pier, tentatively to Monday, July 7th at 9:00 p.m.

This storm is expected to pass in close proximity of Cape Hatteras on Friday, July 4th with winds and rain that would prohibit the fireworks show from taking place.

Due to the weekend turnovers with visitors coming to the island, a decision was made to postpone the fireworks show to Monday, July 7th to ensure that all residents and guests have ample time to prepare a proper celebration of Independence Day, complete with fireworks display, as planned.

The Avon Fireworks Committee will reconvene on Friday, July 4th to confirm these plans after the storm has passed. Should adjustments be made to the tentative plans, there will be another press release on Friday afternoon.

The Fireworks Committee and Avon Property Owners’ Association would like to thank the National Park Service, Koru Village, Dare County, Pyrotecnico, and all of the event sponsors for their flexibility, cooperation and support.
