ATLANTA—Atlanta’s not-to-be-missed 4th of July celebration will be in the Centennial Park District.
In the center of the district, Centennial Olympic Park will host a fireworks display--the only one in the city--and performances by Bobby Brown, Ann Nesby, CeCe Peniston and many others.
Surrounding the park, there’s plenty to see, do and eat within walking distance, so attendees are encouraged to spend the whole day – and even stay the night – in the Centennial Park District, and to snag a good spot early.
