The Avon Property Owners Association (APOA) will be hosting a fundraising fish fry on Saturday, June 29, to raise funds for the annual Independence Day fireworks display over the Avon Pier.
The community fish fry will be held at the Avon Volunteer Fire Department station on 40159 Harbor Road, starting at 5:00 p.m.
The plates are $15 each and include fresh fish, baked beans, coleslaw, hush puppies, dessert and tea.
Hatteras Island Fireworks 2024 T-shirts will also be available to purchase for $20, and all proceeds from the dinner and the T-shirts will go towards the annual fireworks display.
On July 4, the fireworks display, permitted by and in cooperation with the National Park Service, will begin at 9:15 p.m. from a launch site at the end of Avon Pier.
The ensuing show, orchestrated and 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.
Hatteras Island’s annual Independence Day celebration is sponsored by the 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.
