Fourth of July Fireworks in Atlanta: Salute to America, Lenox Square Mall
One of the largest Fourth of July gatherings in Atlanta Lenox Square Mall always offers the most impressive fireworks display in town. The fireworks shows in the Lenox Square/Buckhead area of Atlanta began in the 1960's, and have grown more magnificent every year.

The Lenox Firework display promises millions of fireworks in a 20 minute show. Loudspeakers will blast patriotic music throughout the demonstration and a military fly-over will precede the show. The show starts around 9pm, when dusk turns to darkness.

The Fourth of July begins at 7:30am in Atlanta with the legendary Peachtree Road Race, the world's largest 10K with a capped 55,000 runners. Fans and onlookers will line the streets of Atlanta to celebrate and cheer the runners to the finish line.

The evening Fourth of July festivities begin around 5pm in and around Lenox Square. There will be games and inflatable slides and obstacle courses for the kids to enjoy. Hang out in Atlanta all day to enjoy food, activities, and a patriotic celebration.
