Columbia County is proud to announce plans for BOOM! in the Park 2026, the annual Independence Day celebration at Evans Towne Center Park. Presented by Bank of America, this year’s event will honor the nation’s 250th anniversary with a spectacular evening featuring a drone show, live entertainment, and an enhanced fireworks display.

To ensure a comfortable and family-friendly environment, this year’s celebration will be ticket-only entry. Tickets are free and available for pickup at designated Columbia County locations. All attendees must adhere to a clear bag policy. Individuals under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult 21 years or older (verified by ID). There will be no re-entry into the park once guests exit.
