Red, White, and Boom!   July 4th Firework Show

Red, White & Boom

As darkness falls over Athens on July 4th the sky will burst with brilliant colors and glisten with sparkling streamers heralding our Nation's victory for independence.   This annual fireworks display is nestled in the Athens Football Stadium (100 U.S. Highway 31N in Athens) with rockets aimed skyward for an amazing show visible from surrounding spaces like  Athens Park and Recreation Center, Central Church of Christ and other adjacent areas.
