More about Riverfront Park and the festival
The City of North Charleston’s 4th of July Festival is our largest sponsored event. Annually held at Riverfront Park, the Festival features nationally renowned performers, such as Mary Wilson of the Supremes, Marshall Tucker Band, Lee Greenwood, and the Blue Dogs.
Riverfront Park is open to the public year-round and has become a favorite destination for residents and visitors. Set on the banks of the beautiful Cooper River, the park is adjacent to the historic homes once occupied by the Charleston Naval Base officers, surrounded by graceful grand oak trees and peaceful river vistas. Bordered by Noisette Creek, the park boasts a magnificent contemporary Performance Pavilion and meadow.
Riverfront Park is home to the Greater Charleston Naval Base Memorial, erected in honor of the countless military personnel and civilians that served the United States and the Greater Charleston region while the Charleston Navy Base was operational. The Memorial is the only location in the United States that displays both the Lone Sailor and the Homecoming statues. Riverfront Park is also the location of North Charleston’s Annual National Outdoor Sculpture Competition and Exhibition. A component of the North Charleston Arts Festival, the Competition and Exhibition features large-scale contemporary sculptures on display throughout the year.

in the last weekOne of our favorite places to enjoy waterfront views without having to drive to the beach. It's a breezy, wide open space with lots and lots and lots of room to run and play or walk on the boardwalk or play at the playground or stroll across the new pedestrian bridge.

in the last weekBeautiful waterfront boardwalk. Though it is a hot 86° day, since you're on the water, there is a wonderful breeze and the heat wasn't too bad. Though I went mid-May, so idk how nice it'll feel when it feels like 99°. There was a nice memorial and a brief history of the Charleston navy yard. There was also art sculptures along the path.
