What better place to celebrate the Fourth than in the Fourth?
The second annual “Fireworks in the Fourth Ward” celebration is happening on July 4, 2019, from 5 to 11 p.m. It will take place in and around Historic Fourth Ward Park. The celebration is FREE and open to the public.
You can expect to enjoy live music by local Atlanta cover band Sucker Punch before dark. At dusk, deejay Q-Tip will spin a soundtrack that is coordinated with the fireworks display. Fireworks will begin after the sun sets.
This is a family-friendly event.
There will be over 20 food trucks in the area. And of course there are plenty of eateries in the Old Fourth Ward, including those at Ponce City Market.
The event’s Facebook page notes that you’ll be able to purchase adult beverages, courtesy of Old Fourth Distillery Co. and New Realm Brewing Co.; and wine, margaritas and vodka punch will be available.

About the venue
Historic Fourth Ward Park is a true urban oasis in Atlanta. The park features paved walking trails, a playground, a skate park, and a large pond that is home to ducks, turtles, fish, and the occasional heron or egret. A tiered, grassy amphitheater at one end of the pond creates an inviting space for performances and even weddings.
