Pelicans Announce July 3rd Fireworks Celebration

Event Features The Long Bay Symphony & The Sandlot

The Myrtle Beach Pelicans announced today that they will host a July 3rd Fireworks Celebration courtesy of WMBF News and Gator 107.9 at TicketReturn.Com Field. The evening will include a patriotic concert by the Long Bay Youth Symphony accompanied by select members of the Long Bay Symphony, and a showing of The Sandlot on the video board. Socially distant seating options include field seating, the seating bowl, and specialty zones such as luxury suites, dugouts, and more. Gates will open at 6:30 PM and the show will begin at 8PM. The evening’s complete schedule is listed below.

“July 3rd at Pelicans Ballpark has become a staple over the years,” stated Pelicans President and General Manager Ryan Moore. “While we may not be playing baseball for our annual Independence Day Celebration, but we believe we’ve found a unique and entertaining alternative that will allow fans to enjoy the evening while still allowing for appropriate social distancing.”

The symphony, which will be situated atop the Budweiser Thirst Inning Deck in left field, will play a variety of patriotic numbers including Stars & Stripes Forever by John Phillip Sousa. The final minutes of their performance will be in conjunction with the fireworks show.
