In fact, the July 4th celebration in Centennial Olympic Park even won an Emmy in 2012 for their broadcast on ABC, not to mention became the third most-watched program in Atlanta in 2016. That just goes to show, it’s that good of a display. Gates open at 6pm for the fun, so make sure you get there early for a good seat. Fireworks start at 9:45pm.

Stone Mountain is notorious for their lasershow, but through July 1-4, a spectacular fireworks finale immediately follows. This award-winning display has to be seen to be believed. Visit the Stone Mountain Park website for tickets.

However, if you’re looking for activities to keep you busy all day, then head on over to Downtown Augusta Common, where there will be vendors set up, food, live music, and even a children’s area! Spend the day full of patriotic pride, then watch once of the best fireworks displays in the state.
This are some of the most popular shows, worth checking out if you happen to be in the area. Otherwise, there are still a variety of shows throughout the entire state of Georgia worth considering. No need to search “fireworks near me” when you have the ultimate guide right at your fingertips.
