Historic Downtown Swansboro is getting ready for a night full of small-town fun, fireworks, and celebration at the upcoming Swansboro Independence Day Celebration! The event will take place in Downtown Swansboro on July 3rd from 6-10pm, with fireworks starting at sunset. Whether you’re coming early to walk around, meet up with family and friends, or grab a good spot for the show, it’s a perfect time to enjoy everything that Swansboro has to offer.
Before the celebration begins, make sure to stop by Rocket Fizz Soda Pop & Candy Shop at 101 W Church Street in Historic Downtown Swansboro for sweet treats, cold drinks, and delicious ice cream for your night of fun! We are right in the heart of downtown, making us an easy stop while you are out enjoying the Independence Day festivities.
Since July in Swansboro can be warm, it’s a great time to cool off with a scoop of Blue Bunny Ice Cream before the fireworks. Whether you’re grabbing a classic flavor, treating the kids before the show, or making your downtown walk a little sweeter, ice cream is the perfect Independence Day treat.
For this year’s patriotic celebration, we have several red, white, and blue goodies that fit the occasion perfectly. Our America the Beautiful 250th Anniversary Milk Chocolate Bar is a great pick for anyone who wants a sweet treat that also feels special for the celebration. If you’re looking for something easy to snack on while walking around Downtown Swansboro, our Americana M&M’s & Pretzels Trail Mix is a fun choice. It has that sweet and salty mix that works great for a summer evening downtown.
The Jelly Belly All American Mix is another great option because it’s colorful, easy to share, and full of the classic Jelly Belly flavor you know and love. For something extra fun, we also carry Limited Edition Red, White, and Blue Slime Lickers. These are perfect for kids, teens, or anyone who loves a sour candy moment.
Of course, Rocket Fizz has plenty more for you to explore while you’re here as well. Our Swansboro shop carries 500+ bottled sodas, 100+ taffy and bulk candy flavors, international treats, nostalgic candies, and our customer-favorite mystery bags, making there something for everyone to enjoy!
We are very excited to celebrate with our Swansboro community and welcome visitors into downtown for such a fun night! Stop by Rocket Fizz Soda Pop & Candy Shop at 101 W Church Street in Historic Downtown Swansboro, NC before or during the celebration. We would love to see you!
