Are you looking for fun, food, music, and fireworks with a family atmosphere? Well, we have just the thing for you. Greenville Celebrates America, an evening for adults and children, where everyone will have a great time while they show how proud they are of their country. Join your friends and neighbors over the levee in Schelben Park for Greenville’s annual Independence Day Celebration, from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., Friday, July 4, 2003. The evening, organized by the Greenville Area Chamber of Commerce, will consist of children’s activities beginning at 5:00 p.m. followed by live entertainment at 7:00 p.m., with the climax of the evening being a spectacular fireworks display at 10:00 PM.

For the kids, there will be a free moonwalk and giant inflatable slide, both of which were tremendous hits last year. The Chamber will also be selling the ever-popular glow necklaces and mouth pieces.

Are you looking for great live entertainment? Well, we have four hours of The Tyrone Smith Revue, considered one of the top show and dance bands in the Southeast! This group sets the standard when it comes to energetic, enthusiastic performances.
With their dynamic horn section and unsurpassed energy, the Tyrone Smith Revue performs the latest Top 40, Beach Music & Motown, and the fabulous 50’ s & 60’s. Visually and musically, the Tyrone Smith Revue is a true southern tradition.

If that is not enough to fill your evening, then stick around because at 10:00 pm the fireworks will be flying over Lake Ferguson. This twenty-minute show will take your breath away with its explosions of sound and dazzling color all choreographed to a patriotic sound track.

With all this going on, we know you are going to get hungry, so pack a picnic basket or sample the delicious assortment of food provided by our vendors. There will be funnel cakes, pork skins, barbeque, hamburgers, hot dogs, snow cones and much more! Just remember, this is a family event and alcohol is not allowed.

This event would not be possible without the generous support of these sponsors: City of Greenville, Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau, WXVT, WABG, Lighthouse Point Casino, Pepsi Americas, and The King’s Daughters Hospital.

So grab a blanket and lawn chairs then come stake out your spot on the levee, relax and enjoy the evening. For public safety reasons, please, no alcohol, coolers, pets or personal fireworks.
