Freedom Blast
Games and Activities

Freedom Blast wouldn't be complete without traditional Fourth of July contests and games, as well as activities to entertain children on our nation's birthday.  Check out the schedule below and join us for a day of fun.  Whether you participate or watch events such as the pie eating contest, you're sure to have a great time.


1:00 p.m.          Inflatables Open

From fun on inflatable slides to bouce houses and obstacle courses, kids love airblown activities!  Beginning at 1 p.m., the City Park Green near the playground and picnic shelter will become a kid's dream when a variety of inflatables open to the public.  A $5.00 wristband allows a child to play as much as he or she would like in the Inflatable Zone until the area closes at 7 p.m.  That's as much as six hours of jumping fun for one low price!


2:00 p.m.          Kids Zone Opens

Looking for some free fun for the little ones?  Kids Zone is the place to be!  From coloring sheets and making hundreds of bubbles to visiting with Stephanie Vaugn, the reigning Miss Upstate South Carolina USA (and last year's Miss Greater Greer), Kids Zone will offer plenty of fun activities until it closes at 5:00 p.m.
