Goats and Glory 🐐
Looking for a raaaad way to spend Fourth of July weekend? Spring Haven Farm is hosting a Goatstravaganza June 30 through July 2! Festivities include games (think axe throwing and archery), food trucks, local beer, and a live DJ—plus quality time with goats and the other farm animals, naturally. It’s sure to be the GOAT. 😉
Snap, Crackle, Pop 🧨
It’s not the Fourth of July without fireworks, so make plans to head to Dix Park’s family-friendly July 4th celebration on Tuesday! The fun kicks off at 5 p.m. with 30 food trucks, music, games, and other activities, while the fireworks show will start at 9:30 p.m. BYO blankets or lawn chairs!
Stay Cool by the Pool 💦👙
If chilling poolside is more your Fourth of July vibe, book it to Durham for a Tuesday Funday at Unscripted Durham’s The Patio, a lively outdoor rooftop with the chillest pool scene. On July 4, you can book a lounge chair, cabana, or sectional and enjoy exclusive food and drink specials—from a $15 beer and burger combo to $5 red, white, and blue Jell-O shots to a frozen painkiller. It’s gonna be lit!
