SANDY SPRINGS, GA — July 4th is quickly approaching, and the skies above Sandy Springs will sparkle and sizzle as the City hosts its seventh annual Stars and Stripes Celebration fireworks event, Thursday, July 4, at the Concourse Corporate Campus lawn. The community is invited to pack a picnic and enjoy an evening under the stars as part of this much-anticipated holiday tradition.

“Our fireworks celebration has become one of the area’s most anticipated events of the summer, with friends and neighbors, including those in surrounding communities, gathering to watch what always is a spectacular display,” said Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul.

There are many events happening in and around Atlanta on July 4th, too, from the Peachtree Road Race to the massive fireworks display at Centennial Olympic Park. Check out what's going on in Atlanta for the Fourth of July on Patch.

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.
