Happy 4th of July!We enjoyed a great evening of fireworks at the Cumming Fairgrounds last night. The weather was mild, breezy and a little cool....perfect for July!! If you missed the fantastic fireworks display in Cumming last night, don't worry. You can still catch most of the other shows tonight. Here's a few of my favorites!
Alpharetta: The Recreation & Parks Department will host this year's spectacular Fireworks show at Wills Park in Alpharetta. Childrens activities & entertainment will be on the Event Lawn from 5pm-8pm. Food vendors will be located throughout the park. Another "Awesome" Alpharetta event! Free Admission and Parking.

Lake Lanier: Lake Lanier Islands shoots off a fantastic fireworks show each year. You can either head over to the islands and join in the festivities, or grab a boat and find a spot on the lake to enjoy the show.

The City of Milton is hosting its first ever 4th of July Parade. In the spirit of uniqueness that is Milton the event will be a Citizen’s Parade. All Milton residents are encouraged to participate by marching, dressing in costume and bringing their pets to join in. The Alpharetta Rodeo Wranglers will lead the procession, and Milton firefighters, and the City’s shiny red fire trucks, will be on hand.
“This is an opportunity for everyone to be a part of a parade,” said Linda Blow, City of Milton’s Project Coordinator who came up with the idea of citizens participating. “I hope that people are creative and just have fun with it. Decorate your bike, wagons or whatever you like!”
The parade will begin at 10 A.M. on July 4th and will march along Deerfield Parkway in Milton, beginning at City Hall. People who wish to participate are asked to gather at Milton’s City Hall at 13000 Deerfield Parkway at 9:30 A.M. All participants are invited back to City Hall to enjoy cold treats and face painting.
