Atlanta Fireworks Show

For years, both downtown's Centennial Olympic Park park and Buckhead's Lenox Square hosted their own fireworks celebrations, but in 2017, the park and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority began partnering with Lenox Square management to combine their shows; today, the authority manages the July 4 event.

Gates to the park open at 7 p.m. and the event is free. Attendees are highly encouraged to take MARTA, whose closest stops to the park are Five Points, Peachtree Center and CNN Center/State Farm Arena/Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Attendees may park at either the park's red or green deck.
