Also, don’t forget about the fly-over on Wednesday, July 4 at 1:00 pm.

The non-profit organization Salute from the shore is helping organize the event. The goal is to get one million people on the beaches wearing waving red, white and blue. The Flyover will start at the North Carolina border at 1:00 PM, sharp. The planes will fly south in a single file, covering every beach in South Carolina and end at approximately 1:30 PM.
