FIREWORKS IN SYLVA. (Top photo by Nick Breedlove/Bottom photo by Kelly Donaldson)

The eighth annual July 4 Fireworks in Sylva will be held on Monday, July 4, 2022. The fireworks should begin at dark (generally around 9:30 p.m.) and are visible from various locations throughout downtown Sylva and the immediate surrounding areas.

We are proud to welcome back the Crocodile Smile Band to the stage for a performance from 6:30-7:45 p.m., and a second set from 8:15 to 9:30 p.m. They are one of the southeast's finest bands. They will perform classic hits, pop favorites, R&B, and beach music. Fireworks begin at dark immediately after the concert, approximately 9:30 p.m.

The fireworks are organized by the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce. We could not possibly have fireworks in Sylva without the help and support of our friends at the Town of Sylva, Jackson County Permitting Office (Tony Elders and Doug Painter), Jackson County Commissioners, and the Jackson County Parks and Recreation Department.

Most importantly, the fireworks this year and the last seven years have been provided by our friends, members and partners/sponsors in the community. This year, those partners are:
