4th of July Stars in the Sky July 4, 2008

Everyone is invited to the Virginia Peninsula's biggest Fourth of July party - Fourth of July Stars in the Sky on the Downtown Superblock. This huge downtown oasis is filled with 30,000 people each year who come to celebrate our nation's birthday. The evening begins as crowds gather to munch on dinner hot off a food vendor's grill and kids jump on the moonwalk. As dusk approaches, the stage comes alive with the music of a nationally known entertainer. At the last note from the concert ends, the sky over the James River explodes with a kaleidoscope of color in a spectacular fireworks show. Free parking. The Downtown Superblock is located at exit 6 from I-664, just minutes from Colonial Williamsburg and all Newport News attractions.
