North Buncombe – Once again, the North Buncombe community embraced the country’s 246th birthday with its usual patriotic spirit. The Beech Community held its 138th Fourth of July parade, the Big Ivy Community also had a parade but held theirs on Saturday along with their other events, and the Town of Weaverville held a concert and fireworks for the citizens of the community.
The event format was similar to the 2021 event, with the music stage positioned near Town Hall on South Main Street. This year’s featured performer, Ashley Heath, started playing at 7:30 pm and played until fireworks were displayed at 9:30 pm from the Weaverville Primary School baseball field. Here are pictures from the Beech Community parade and the Weaverville event.
