Signal Hill Mall – Statesville
Queens Landing – Lake Norman: Wednesday, July 4th 7:00 p.m. Fireworks at 9:00 p.m.
Enjoy fireworks over the lake from your boat or if you prefer land, bring your chairs to the Melanie L. Williams Amphitheatre at Queens Landing and listen to the sounds of Joey Bishop and the News. If you would like even more, how about dinner and a cruise aboard the Lady of the Lake or the Catawba Queen! What a great way to celebrate the evening.
Lake Norman Yacht Club – Mooresville: June 30th and July 1st
As host, Lake Norman Yacht Club, Mooresville, NC invites you to the 2012 Independence Day Regatta. We promise you good sailboat racing, dinner, entertainment and, of course, “FIREWORKS”. Come and join the fun. Camping at the club is available. No pets allowed.
Trump National Golf Club – Mooresville: July 4th (at the Point)
This will be the biggest and brightest in the area for sure. The show at Trump National Golf Club of Charlotte will by far be the largest in the county. The show will be the first at the golf club since Businessman Donald Trump purchased it in Mooresville, and the mortars and shells for the show are so large the Fire Marshal’s office is requiring New York-based BAY Fireworks Pyrotechnic Engineering to notify the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport that night so airplanes can be directed on another flight path. So look out for this one and be ready for some boat traffic!
Lake Norman YMCA- Mooresville: July 3rd 5-10 p.m. 
FUN, FAMILY & FIREWORKS
Celebrate with fun, family and fireworks at the largest Independence Day celebration in the Lake Norman area – the Lowe’s YMCA July 3 Summer Celebration!
