Fourth of July this year at Haven Harbour (and in Rock Hall) did not disappoint. Flags, fireworks, foot race, float and family fun would be an accurate and alliterative summary of our holiday weekend celebrating America's big 250th birthday.

Haven Harbour South's beach was illuminated on July Third evening by the Rock Hall Volunteer Fire Company's annual fireworks display. Some employees, along with community members and visitors, participated in the Rock Hall Flat Five road race the following morning on July 4. Also on Independence Day morning, Haven Harbour appeared in the town's annual parade with a decked-out patriotic-themed float. And last but not least – our bar and grill-goers were treated to a full lineup of music all holiday weekend long.

Wherever it was spent, we hope all had a happy and enjoyable Fourth! Happy 250, America.
