​Health and Safety First, No Red, White & Boom In July 2020

Picture
The Athens-Limestone community will have less bang and sparkle this 4th of July as the Athens-Limestone County Tourism Association opts to heed to the side of caution after reviewing the guidelines offered by the State of Alabama for large community gathering and several agencies requirement of a detailed mitigation and response plan that included limiting attendance, assuring people would willfully maintaining 6 feet social distancing within their cars for the duration of the event, having a process in place potentially to contract trace attendees in case of a COVID-19 outbreak, and other points that such a small organization couldn’t provide.
“Depending on how the year continues with COVID-19, we may be able to bring the fireworks to another holiday later in 2020. Otherwise, we’ll make plans to have the 4th of July Red, White & Boom display return in 2021,” said Teresa Todd, President of Athens-Limestone County Tourism Association.

The COVID-19 outbreak has forced many annual events to cancel in Athens-Limestone including the Limestone County Sheriff’s Rodeo, Keep Athens-Limestone Beautiful Earth Day & Outdoor EXPO, City of Athens Relay for Life Bass Tournament and many others. Some organizers have hope that the Fall will be better and have rescheduled events like the Athens State Alumni Golf Class, TEARS Foundation Rock & Walk, SeaArk Owner Invitational Catfish Tournament among others. To see events are happening or not happening in Athens-Limestone, please visit: VisitAthensAL.com/events.
