  • Red, White and Blue Shootout: Guests rotate through three thrilling activities: the Silly Birds paintball sling shot, wildlife air rifle challenge and archery bullseye bonanza
  • Sunset Carnival: Once the sun goes down on the Fourth, guests can enjoy carnival games and acrobatic entertainment; festive carnival favorites like funnel cakes and cotton candy will be available for purchase

 

Along with these programs and activities, travelers can enjoy signature resort activities such as the spa and golf course. For the full list of July 4th activities, visit Montage Palmetto Bluff’s website.
