Where to See Fireworks in Brevard, NC
As night falls, cap off your Independence Day with a spectacular fireworks display launched from Brevard College. The show is visible from several spots throughout downtown, including Main Street, the Courthouse lawn, and the hill on Broad Street between downtown and Brevard College (known locally as Jailhouse Hill). Many visitors also gather on the open field toward the back of Brevard College’s campus or near Ingles for a great view.
Wherever you choose to watch, plan to arrive early to claim a spot. Expect heavy traffic around Brevard College before and after the show, so if you’re planning to watch from campus, it’s best to park elsewhere downtown and walk over. Fireworks typically begin once it’s fully dark.
