Fourth of July Fireworks Moving From Kenan Stadium

Posted Jun 11, 2019
Chapel Hill will be introducing a new Fourth of July celebration and fireworks show this year at Southern Community Park in Southern Village. In years past, the celebration was held at Kenan Stadium on UNC’s campus, but Chapel Hill Fire Chief Matt Sullivan said the new artificial turf field at Kenan Stadium was a safety hazard and costly to protect.
