BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – With Independence Day just a few weeks away, many Berkeley County residents are gearing up to celebrate the holiday with good food on the grill and, of course, fireworks.

A federal holiday since 1941, Independence Day commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence during the American Revolution. On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress declared the 13 American colonies free from British rule and independent, governing states.

For nearly 246 years now, the 4th of July has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with activities ranging from fireworks, parades and concerts to more casual family get-togethers.

For Berkeley County residents eager to see fireworks light up the night sky during that time, here are a few places to check out:
