FOURTH OF JULY AT THE OLD BRIDGE!

Ready, Set, GO! – Fourth of July at the Old Bridge

If it’s the Fourth of July, then you know the Old Bridge is the place to be.  Everyone is welcome in the Sunset Beach community, residents and visitors, to join us on Independence Day, Friday, July 4 at 9:00 a.m.  Kick off the day with some home-style fun.  Celebrating the Fourth of July at the Old Bridge is a Sunset Beach tradition that you won’t want to miss.  The event is free and open to all.

We’ll promptly start at 9:00 a.m. with the pledge of allegiance, patriotic songs, some bad dad jokes and then Uncle Sam and the traditional parade over the bridge. Children (and adults) are encouraged to don patriotic dress and bring their decorated bicycles, wagons, strollers or sneakers to ride or march across the Old Bridge in step to rousing patriotic music.   What a perfect photo opportunity!  Grandparents and parents can capture their children in all of their red, white, and blue glory.

Immediately following the parade, volunteers from the Old Bridge Historical Society have designed stations with adult supervised good old-fashioned, All-American games, crafts and activities.  Prizes will be plentiful!  There will be light refreshments available.

For more than a decade, the parade over the Old Bridge on the Fourth of July has become a family tradition.  So, before you start barbequing, before you start swimming, before you start to build that amazing sandcastle, plan to start your Fourth of July festivities at the Old Bridge in Sunset Beach, beginning at 9:00 a.m. on Friday morning, 109 Shoreline Drive West, Sunset Beach!  The celebration is weather dependent so for the latest information, please visit the Old Bridge Historical Society website at http://www.theoldbridge.org, Facebook, Old Bridge Historical Society, or call 910-363-6585.
