Greenville rings in Independence Day with a clash and a clatter every year, with the town’s traditional Pots and Pans Parade, which begins at midnight on July 4, after a night of fun on the town field.
Celebrations began at 8 p.m. at the Town Field, with music and street dancing, an ice cream truck, cotton candy, various light-up accessories for sale and raffles.
As night falls, the attendees look to the sky for a fireworks show, before heading to Main Street to see another kind of light show – the floats of the Pots and Pans Parade with the theme “Light Up Greenville!” accompanied by the flashing lights of firetrucks, ambulances and floats put together by local families and businesses, accompanied by the banging of pots and pans from the spectators.
