...4th of July Celebrations
Atlanta, GA -If you can't find something to do in Atlanta for the Fourth of July you obviously aren't trying. This city energetically celebrates Independence and does it with Atlanta's signature sense of theater!
There have got to be few sights as visually awesome as fireworks exploding over Atlanta's Stone Mountain. Picture it - rising 400 feet into the blackened evening sky, the towering slab of granite suddenly, spectacularly illuminated by a pinwheeling kaleidoscope of color, just as your body vibrates from the pounding thunder of thousands of explosions and your ears ring with the delightful noise. Now THAT'S a fireworks display!
The show is free with park admission, so take the whole family for a full day's fun at one of America's premier state parks, and, as it gets dark, be treated to a fantastic Lasershow. Then watch out, as the fireworks explode above you!
Guests are encouraged to arrive early and enjoy all the Park attractions for the day. Please note that there will be no free Park re-entry allowed. Special Event Parking fees will be in effect July 3-5: $10.00 per vehicle (14 or fewer passengers) for a one-time permit or $35 for an annual permit. Guests who leave the Park on July 4th and then wish to return will have to re-pay the $10.00 Park entry fee. Due to heavy vehicle traffic the entrance gates to the park could close at any time. Please call 770.498.5690 on the day of your visit for operational updates.
But that's not the only way to celebrate July 4 in Atlanta. Here's a quick run-down of a few more:
