The Town of Matthews is celebrating Independence Day with two fun events, both on Thursday, July 3, 2025.
Check out a huge list of 4th of July fireworks, parades and celebrations in the Charlotte area.
Independence Day Celebration
The Town of Matthews is hosting an Independence Day celebration on Thursday, July 3, 2025, from 5 to 8:30 p.m., at Stumptown Park, 120 S Trade Street, Matthews, North Carolina. Enjoy music from Too Much Sylvia from 6 to 8:30 p.m., as well as bounce houses, hamburgers, hot dogs, and ice cream, and craft beer.
There will be an Uncle Sam stiltwalker, balloon twisting, glitter tattoos and more.
Admission is free. Pay for food, drink and other activities.
Fireworks Spectacular
The fireworks show takes place the same day, at 9:30 p.m., at the Matthews SportsPlex, 2425 Sports Parkway, Matthews, North Carolina. The fireworks show is free and open to the public.
Vehicles should enter the SportsPlex via Brigman Road (see map below).
Parking will be directed by staff–starting in the stadium area left to right, then move to parking lots in Area A (fields 1-4), then to the grass lots between, in that order.
View from your parking space – please take any litter with you! The Sportsplex is generously hosting our fireworks–but they have events the very next day, and we want the property to look great for them. You will see some trash cans and staff managing trash–but we would appreciate the help in such a large space. If you pack it in, please pack it out!
Double-Check Before You Head Out!
We make every effort to make sure that everything on Charlotte on the Cheap is 100% accurate.
However, sometimes things change without notice, and we are not always notified. It’s also possible that we can make a mistake.
Please verify all deals and events with the venue or organizer before you go.
