Amir SohailHOUSTON, (ZM NEWSWIRE) — This Fourth of July, the red, white and blue rolls out all week long. From June 29 through July 5, Great Escapes RV Resorts, part of the TJO 10×10 Management portfolio of outdoor hospitality destinations that includes Great Escapes, Jellystone Park™, KOA, and other affiliated properties, is lighting up the holiday with onsite fireworks, foam parties, glow parades and patriotic fun for every age, with the celebration turned up a notch for America’s 250th birthday.
Fireworks Light Up the Night
Four parks send the celebration sky-high with their own onsite fireworks on the Fourth of July:
Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie (Pelahatchie, MS) goes big and loud, with its signature fireworks launching at 9 p.m. on July 4 right off the beach. The show caps a packed week of campsite-decorating contests, patriotic parades, a red-white-and-blue ice cream social, and wet-and-wild wagon rides by day and glow wagon rides after dark.
Great Escapes Chesnut Bay (Leesburg, AL) throws its 4th of July Freedom Fest on a hilltop above Weiss Lake, with fireworks bursting over the resort at 9 p.m. on July 4. The day stacks crafts, a golf-cart and bike parade, foam parties, live music, a glow ride and glow pool party, and a dive-in movie, with Pirates Bay Waterpark steps away.
Jellystone Park™ North Port Huron (Carsonville, MI) lights up the Island at the campground with a fireworks display at dusk on July 4, after a day of morning flag-raising, a parade, patriotic tie-dye crafts, a water-balloon battle, and photo ops with Yogi Bear™, Boo Boo™ and Cindy Bear™.
Jellystone Park™ Mark Twain Lake (Monroe City, MO) sends its fireworks up over the campground lake at dusk on July 4, shot off the dam for a wide-open view across the water, with live music and themed-weekend activities rounding out the holiday.
