Installation & décor by Place Makers
Celebrating America's 250th right here in Emerald Plantation — Saturday, July 4, 6–10pm. The stage, the photo op, the bell, and Freedom Grove were all designed and built by Place Makers.
We're right here in the plaza — just down the breezeway from the stage. Tonight the shop is also the air-conditioned cooling station, with free lemonade. It's a heat-advisory evening, so come cool off, see the handmade bows up close, and say hello.

(252) 764-0011Everything you're walking through tonight — the stage backdrop, the vintage Americana vignettes, the photo-op station, the bell, and the trees of Freedom Grove — was dreamed up and handmade by Jodie Moore of Place Makers, the gift and décor shop tucked right here in the plaza.
Place Makers builds custom bows, wreaths, and full event and holiday installations for the Crystal Coast. If a piece tonight made you stop and smile, that's the work — and it's available to you, too.
Let Freedom Ring is brought to the community by Emerald Isle Happenings, with a special thank-you to our veterans through Emerald Isle for Veterans.
Happy 250th birthday, America — and thank you to everyone who made tonight possible.
