Avon fireworks display will launch at 9:15 p.m. on July 4
The Avon Fishing Pier will once again host the fireworks display on Hatteras Island, which is scheduled to launch on Thursday, July 4, at 9:15 p.m.
The fireworks display, permitted by and in cooperation with the National Park Service, launches from the end of the Avon Pier. The ensuing show, presented by the contractor PYROSTAR, typically lasts about 20 minutes.
The fireworks are visible all along Avon beach, and parking adjacent to the launch site is limited, so visitors are encouraged to walk, bike, or carpool to their closest beach access.
Visitors are advised to avoid surfing or swimming within 500 feet of the pier in any direction, as it is highly dangerous and the Dare County Fire Marshal could call off the event due to any unsafe conditions. In 2022, people in the water near the Avon Pier caused an approximately 15-minute delay in the fireworks show, per event organizers.
Hatteras Island’s annual Independence Day celebration is sponsored by the Avon Property Owners Association (APOA) and is funded in part by the Outer Bank Visitors Bureau. The event is additionally made possible through generous donations from the Hatteras Island business community and its residents, property owners, and guests.
