It's time to mark your calendars for a dose of fireworks and family fun, as the City of Kennesaw gears up for its annual Salute to America event. The Independence Day festivity is set to light up downtown Kennesaw on July 3, offering free admission to all comers from 6 to 10 p.m. For those eager to celebrate, expect live music performances, appetizing food options from various vendors, and a range of activities tailored for a family audience, as per the City of Kennesaw's release.
The night is poised to be capped off with a fireworks display at 9:30 p.m., guaranteed to be visible from Main Street. An announcement from the city indicated that listeners can look forward to a headlining performance by Guardians of the Jukebox starting at 8 p.m. The musical journey will also feature Girls Night Out and Tripp’n, set to perform at 7 p.m. and 6 p.m. respectively, each taking the stage at the United Bankshares Amphitheater at Depot Park.
For those seeking more than just auditory and visual delights, the event promises ticketed inflatable amusements for children, and a selection of entrées and beverages. Picnic baskets and coolers are welcome, though with restrictions on size and contents – no grills to be specific, and coolers must be 20 quarts or smaller. Complete guidelines for park and amphitheater attendance are accessible via www.amphitheateratdepotpark.com.
Additionally, for those seeking a more secured viewing spot, reserved seating is up for grabs at the cost of $20 per chair on the amphitheater's second-tier turf level. While seating is limited and handed out randomly, it can be snagged on a first-come, first-served basis with reservations available online. Patrons can secure their spot through www.kennesawjuly3.com.
Supported by a host of local sponsors including Williams Elleby Howard & Easter, Window Nation, and others, the Salute to America emphasizes a healthy atmosphere as Kennesaw city parks continue to uphold their “Breathe Easy Zones” policy, disallowing tobacco products, smoking, and e-cigarettes. Just a note for those marking their calendars – keep an eye on the weather, as untimely rain could bring changes to the event's schedule.
