The rockets' red glare and bursts of live music will illuminate Kennesaw this July 3rd as the city gears up for its annual "Salute to America" bash. From 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. in Downtown Kennesaw, the patriotic spectacle will include a fireworks show, along with toe-tapping performances from The Troubadour Project and the Atlanta Rhythm Section, as reported by the City of Kennesaw's official announcement.

Visitors can expect an entourage of food vendors to satisfy cravings, and the kids won’t feel left out with activities tailored just for them, making this event the perfect family-friendly setting for Independence Day celebrations, the fireworks planned to paint the sky at exactly 9:30 p.m. will provide a climax that's as American as apple pie, but with way more sparkle. Families can look forward to spreading out their picnic baskets, though grill masters will have to leave their equipment at home, sticking to cold cuts rather than hot dogs sizzling on the barbecue. Seating is also up for grabs for 10 bucks a pop in a first-come, first-serve dash to get the best view on the tiered turf.

For the lovers of clear skies and clean lungs, Kennesaw maintains its commitment to health as Depot Park, where the festivities will take place, is designated a "Breathe Easy Zone" where tobacco, smoking, and vaping are no-gos. While the forecast is for fun, Mother Nature might still pull rank, as the City of Kennesaw announcement notes the event is subject to change if the weather decides not to cooperate.

Die-hard patriots and casual revelers alike who want to claim a spot for this star-spangled extravaganza should visit the event's website to snag a reservation, and if information's what you need, the Kennesaw Parks & Recreation team is ready to field your calls at 770-422-9714; the site also details if you're eager to learn more about the independence day to-do, which remains supported by the Williams Elleby, Howard & Easter law firm, committed to adding legal muster to this fest of freedom.
