City of Winston-Salem, Dash to host Fourth of July celebration

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (June 27, 2018) - The City of Winston-Salem and the Winston-Salem Dash are proud to present "A Dash of Independence Day" at BB&T Ballpark on Wednesday, July 4. The fun begins at 4:30 p.m. and concludes with Winston-Salem's official Fourth of July fireworks show, presented by the City of Winston-Salem, following the Dash's 6:30 p.m. game against the Down East Wood Ducks.
BB&T Ballpark will partially open at 4:30 p.m., with fans having access to the Foothills Brewpen and Kids Zone located in the outfield. Local band Stereo Dolls will be performing on the patio from 4:30-6:30 p.m., and the pregame festival will feature Food Trucks, free balloon animals & temporary patriotic tattoos made available.

The entire ballpark will open at 5:30 p.m. in advance of the Dash game. Both paid and free parking will be available throughout downtown, and all of these locations will be less than a half-mile from BB&T Ballpark's entrance. A full parking map for the Fourth of July will be released this week. Fans are encouraged to arrive prior to 5 p.m. to avoid the heaviest ballpark traffic.
"Our Fourth of July contest festivities are one of the premier events in Winston-Salem," said Dash president C.J. Johnson. "We are excited to be hosting the city's Independence Day party."
