Red, White and BOOM!

Celebrate America with Old Town Rock Hill.

Red, White and BOOM! is truly an event for the entire family, featuring free concerts, great food and many fun things for the kid in all of us.

Make sure you visit our kids zone. Here you can purchase a wristband for $10, and the kids can bounce and slide all night. Also, the Ferris wheel is back this year! The $10 wristband gives all access to every ride and inflatable.

Don't forget one of our most popular events: the ice-cream-eating contest sponsored by PW's. It starts at 6:15 p.m. There will be five age groups and only 12 contestants allowed per age group. Sign up at the event starting at 5:30 p.m. Prizes will be given for first-, second- and third-place winners. You can find the ice cream contest on Black Street.

Proceeds from the sale of Coca-Cola products will benefit the United Way. So drink up!

Beer and wine tickets can be purchased at the tent on Black Street at the entrance to the amphitheater, following your ID check and receipt of wristband.

Live music will be played in the Old Town Amphitheater, as well as on the Fountain Park Amphitheater stage.

Event starts at 5:30 p.m. Fireworks display will be at 10 p.m.
