Ocean Isle Beach Fireworks
You don’t want to miss OIB’s amazing display of fireworks. Watch as colors burst over the waves of the Atlantic Ocean! The fireworks are launched from the Ocean Isle Beach Pier, giving spectators quite a treat! Take your beach chairs or blanket, sit under the stars, and watch as the night sky is lit up… reminding us of “bombs bursting in the air.” If you have never watched fireworks on the beach… NOW is the time!!!
The fireworks display typically begins around 9:15 pm, and viewers can enjoy the celebration from the beach, the pier, or anywhere else on the island!
Check the OIB events calendar for up-to-date fireworks information.
Ocean Isle Beach Independence Day Parade
In addition to fireworks, the celebration continues at the annual OIB 4th of July Parade. This fun local parade usually begins at 10:00 am and features decorated bicycles, golf carts, and more! It is always a grand time for locals and visitors alike. The parade will head down Second Street to Lee Street, so be sure to find a spot for optimal viewing and participation.
