10th Annual Duluth Celebrates America

band

While many others in this area have cancelled their Independence Day Celebrations, the City of Duluth felt it was important to move forward with their annual celebration. Cost cutting measures were taken, but a wonderful event has been planned for you and your family to enjoy. Duluth is known for its patriotism and it is so important to celebrate and thank those who fought for the freedoms we enjoy. So, on Friday, July 3rd, at Scott Hudgens Park off Peachtree Industrial Blvd., come out for an evening of music, fun, inflatables, rides, food and of course a fabulous fireworks display. Julie Hall will kick things off with the National Anthem, then The Woody's (Fleetwood Mac type band) will take the stage, and to wrap things up the Army Ground Forces Band, Loose Cannons, will have you on your feet. Admission is FREE but donations will be graciously accepted. There will be a nominal charge for the inflatables and rides.

The Council on Education for Public Health has just awarded the University of Georgia College of Public Health full accreditation. This accreditation is not easily earned and provides many benefits to the school, the community, the students and prospective employers. Only two schools in Georgia are now fully accredited, the other being the Rollins School at Emory University in Atlanta. The UGA School of Health joins a group of 40 other public health programs at universities in the United States to achieve full accreditation.

Downtown, Buckhead, Gwinnet and More

Downtown and in every suburb Atlantans are preparing to celebrate the Fourth of July with music, food, fun, and spectacular fireworks displays. Whether you want to be a part of a big party or prefer to stay closer to home to enjoy the Fourth of July fireworks and fun there is plenty for you to do in Atlanta.

Fourth of July Fireworks in Atlanta: Salute to America, Lenox Square Mall
One of the largest Fourth of July gatherings in Atlanta Lenox Square Mall always offers the most impressive fireworks display in town. The fireworks shows in the Lenox Square/Buckhead area of Atlanta began in the 1960's, and have grown more magnificent every year.

The Lenox Firework display promises millions of fireworks in a 20 minute show. Loudspeakers will blast patriotic music throughout the demonstration and a military fly-over will precede the show. The show starts around 9pm, when dusk turns to darkness.

The Fourth of July begins at 7:30am in Atlanta with the legendary Peachtree Road Race, the world's largest 10K with a capped 55,000 runners. Fans and onlookers will line the streets of Atlanta to celebrate and cheer the runners to the finish line.

The evening Fourth of July festivities begin around 5pm in and around Lenox Square. There will be games and inflatable slides and obstacle courses for the kids to enjoy. Hang out in Atlanta all day to enjoy food, activities, and a patriotic celebration.

To really enjoy the Fourth of July weekend, find a high-rise hotel nearby where you can enjoy the Peachtree Road Race, fireworks display, and participants from a luxurious room in the sky. Spend the weekend enjoying concerts, fine dining, and Fourth of July parties.

In the face of declining revenues and the difficulty in raising sponsorship funds, Gwinnett County Government officials have decided the County will no longer organize the annual Gwinnett Glows 4th of July celebration. Gwinnett Glows has been a fun community tradition for two decades, but the old adage "all good things must come to an end" is particularly apt in this case given the current state of the economy.

The good news is that Gwinnett County residents still have a choice of other Independence Day celebrations taking place this year. Many of the events provide fun-filled festivities similar Gwinnett Glows, such as food, music, games, and, of course, fireworks.

Here are some places in Gwinnett County and around metro Atlanta where you and your loved ones can celebrate the independence of our great nation on July 4:

Lake Lanier
Mall of Georgia
Gwinnett Stadium (following Gwinnett Braves game)
Stone Mountain Park
Lenox Square
Centennial Olympic Park
Six Flags Over Georgia

A number of other events are held on July 3:

Duluth: Duluth Celebrates America
Lawrenceville: Prelude to the Fourth in Lawrenceville
Norcross: Pre-Independence Day Celebration
Sugar Hill: Sparks in the Parks

The Gwinnett Convention and Visitors Bureau maintains a calendar of events. Visit the GCVB website to find these and other Independence Day celebrations taking place in Gwinnett County.
