Free July 4 musical set at RIFP

  Roanoke Island Festival Park will hold a July 4 celebration that will feature East Carolina University performing music by George M. Cohan at 8 p.m.

  The celebration will also include fireworks provided by the town of Manteo. Held at the park pavilion, the celebration is free and open to the public. Gates open at 6 p.m. Parking will be available at RIFP until the lot is full and in downtown Manteo. Handicap parking will be available at the park.

  Seating at the pavilion is on the grass, so blankets and lawn chairs will add to the relaxed environment. You can also bring a picnic basket. (From RIFP)
