The City of Charleston will launch Fourth of July fireworks on Sunday, July 4 at 9:45 p.m. The 20-minute show will take place on MacCorkle Avenue across from Leon Sullivan Way. The Kanawha Boulevard will be closed from Greenbrier Street to Court Street viewing.

The City has partnered with Pikewood Media Group/West Virginia Radio Corporation to play patriotic music on all of their stations (V100, 580 WCHS, 98.7 The Beat, Today’s New Country 107.3 WKAZ and 96.1 WKWS) for the entire duration of the fireworks.

“We look forward to celebrating the Fourth of July with spectacular fireworks,” said Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin. “Thank you to our friends at WV Radio Corps for providing the soundtrack to the evening.”

Traffic on the south side of the river will be affected at different times during the evening—more details to follow.
