Take advantage of the long weekend and enjoy the many events in and around the city to celebrate our Independence Day!
The Peachtree Road Race, is a 10 kilometer road race held annually in Atlanta, Georgia on July 4, Independence Day. The Peachtree Road Race was until recently the world’s largest 10 kilometer race (an estimated 55,000 participants in 2007), a title it has held since the late 1970s. For more information on the location and events surrounding this event, click on the title above.
Atlanta’s biggest Fourth of July celebration is in Centennial Olympic Park with a massive fireworks display over the downtown skyline. This year will include a live performance by Vertical Horizon, plus plenty of fun family activities and food vendors for a festival atmosphere. Cool off in the Olympic Rings Fountain at this truly patriotic celebration. Attendees are encouraged to ride Marta.
Gather at Lenox Square Mall as a huge fireworks show lights up the sky in Buckhead. Complete with a kids zone and live music, this celebration has the largest fireworks show in the Southeast. The fun starts at 6 p.m. and goes until 10 p.m.
The City of Decatur will celebrate the Fourth in the picturesque Decatur Square with a 6 p.m. Pied Piper Parade for kids followed by fireworks at 7 p.m. Kids can decorate a wagon, ride a bike, skate, or walk in this festive parade.
The Buckhead Beach Party is a two-day festival on July 4 – 5 featuring popular cover band Drivin and Cryin and of course, 50 tons of sand, turning landlocked Atlanta into a fun beach luau! They will be running a free shuttle to the Lenox Mall fireworks and those with a Peachtree Road Race t-shirt get free admission before 2 p.m. after the big race. Tickets are $10 for a two-day pass.
Family fun, patriotic sing-alongs and anthems, and a fiery post-concert blast! The American Spirit is alive and well and thriving at a rip-roaring Fourth, with the ASO, the vibrantly gifted conductor Bridget Reischl and the formidable US Army Chorus. And don’t miss a special fireworks celebration following the concert! Ticket prices vary.
Celebrate the Fourth at Stone Mountain Park where all of their attractions can turn it in to a whole day of family fun. The nightly Lasershow Spactacular will feature a special patriotic fireworks show.

On Monday, May 25, 2009, Apto Solutions will be closed to celebrate Memorial Day.
Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (May 25 in 2009). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the civil war), it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action.
