For next year. Burlington isn't that far from Chapel Hill and they do a nice old Fashioned celebration at Thataways Youth Center. It is usually a day or 2 before the 4th.
We went to Kenan this year and it was really fun. It was a good fun crowd, but no fighting your way in required. We parked on Franklin St and walked across campus. It was a lovely night for a stroll. Everybody was in a festive mood. A church gives out free glow necklaces and the walk back was fun, too (lots of people walk).
