To mark an occasion as auspicious
and patriotic as the Fourth of July, the imaginative event planners at
Georgia’s Lake Lanier Islands Resort did not feel that one day would be
sufficient. That’s why they’re stretching the celebration out over the course
of four fun-, food-, fireworks-, and music fest-filled days on the white sandy
shores of Lake Sidney Lanier. The popular Southern resort’s beach and boardwalk
entertainment district known as LanierWorld will play host to the majority of
the festivities, kicking off one day early on Thursday, July 3.
