Celebrate Independence Day in the heart of downtown Brevard with Shindig on Main, a vibrant, family-friendly event beginning at 12 PM on Friday, July 4. This year’s festivities will include the Transylvania Cruisers Classic Auto Show and plenty of activities for all ages.

Brevard Bike Alliance is offering free bike valet 12-9:30pm on East Main Street. 

Experience a patriotic flag-raising ceremony and a reading of the Declaration of Independence led by local elected officials. Enjoy food trucks, live entertainment, and music throughout the day—including performances at the Courthouse Gazebo. As evening sets in, join us for a beloved Brevard tradition—an old-fashioned street dance featuring Whitewater Bluegrass Company. Known for their spirited blend of Appalachian, bluegrass, and mountain music, the band will keep the crowd dancing well into the evening.

At dark, the celebration concludes with the Fireworks Extravaganza. Fireworks will be visible from locations throughout downtown, including Main Street, Jailhouse Hill, and the Courthouse lawn.
