Independence Day Boat Parade-Thursday, July 3 at 6pm
This year’s Boat Parade will be held Thursday, July 3rd at 6pm. Participating boaters and kayakers are invited to decorate their craft and line-up at Bird Island at 5:30pm. The boats will navigate south to the Queens Folly bridges, then east behind the corridor ending at the PD Club.

If you would like to participate by boat or kayak, please email Elizabeth Simpson at [email protected] so we know how many boats to expect.

If you aren’t participating by boat, you can watch the parade from one of the following bridges: Queens Folly, Haul Away, Sea Lane & Port Tack (West).

Flag Raising Ceremony-Friday, July 4 at 9am
Take a moment to bring your friends, families, and guests to our Annual Flag Raising Ceremony at 9am in the center of the Queens Folly Circle on Friday, July 4th. You don’t want to miss this special event unique to Palmetto Dunes featuring a guest speaker, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the singing of the National Anthem. The ceremony is brief—about 15 minutes—but is an important part of the day’s celebrations.

Harbourfest and Fireworks-Friday, July 4 
Hilton Head’s largest fireworks display is on Friday, July 4th at Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina. Fireworks start when the sky is dark. All guests walking/biking to Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina must use the pedestrian/bike underpass under 278. Traveling across Hwy 278 will not be allowed.

The Dunes Buggy will not be taking individual calls for pick-ups to homes or villas that evening, but they will be operating as a part of our shuttle program. Owners / visitors can park / walk to the Robert Trent Jones and George Fazio Golf Course parking lots and use the shuttles to be transported to/from Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina. The shuttles will operate from 5:30 p.m. – 10:30 p.m.
