PICK: Celebrate Us

Realistic Colorful firework with smoke for celebrate happy new year 2021 countdown festival anniversary birthday party

Mountain high: There may be no better way to reconnect with our friends and neighbors this summer than watching the Celebrate Us fireworks display from Carter Mountain. Take the gorgeous view of the Blue Ridge mountains, add local ciders, craft beers, barbecue, ice cream, and donuts. Top it off with live music, dancing, and a sunset followed by fireworks, and give a salute to all the things that make America beautiful. A portion of the event’s proceeds will benefit the Ronald McDonald House of Charlottesville.

Sunday 7/4, $10-20, 5:30pm. Carter Mountain Orchard, 1435 Carter Mountain Trail. chilesfamilyorchards.com.
