FOLLY BEACH, S.C. (WCSC) - The organizers of Folly Beach’s annual Independence Day fireworks show announced Tuesday the cancellation of this year’s event citing weather concerns.
Municipal Clerk Wes Graham said exceptionally high tides at dusk that evening led to the decision by the Folly Association of Business, the organization that executes the display.
“Unfortunately, there will not be enough area on the beach for the pyrotechnics trailer and the surrounding set-up needed to execute the display,” he said in a statement.
The organization has investigated alternative sites on the beach, but none can be used without violating safety clearance regulations, he said.
