July 4th is this Friday and many people have plans to spend quality time with family and friends and take part in The Landings Golf & Athletic Club’s Firework’s Celebration at aproximately 9 p.m. The Landings Association partners with The Landings Golf & Athletic Club to pay for a portion of the fireworks for this evening. More fireworks have been purchased for this celebration than in previous years, so expect an elevated fireworks extravaganza.
For many people, the fun will not end on Friday. There will be gatherings of families and friends over the long weekend. Below are a few highlights from our Rules and Regulations for everyone to keep in mind to help protect our island, residents, and maximize the good times. Be sure to share these bullet points with your guests.
