Celebrate America's 250th Anniversary at Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina with the beloved HarbourFest fireworks--reimagined with special patriotic flair. As the sun sets over the water, the harbour comes alive with live entertainment, family-friendly fun, and the festive energy of Independence Day.

This milestone celebration weaves in a tribute to the nation's history, with Shannon Tanner's family show featuring special patriotic songs, paired with a fireworks display (show begins when the sky is dark) and fun kids activities with Cappy the Clown. The night will conclude with brilliant bursts of red, white, and blue lighting up the sky above Broad Creek, building to a grand finale that honors 250 years of independence and unity.
