July 4th in Roswell, Georgia

Local Support

The City of Roswell knows that locals and visitors are going to miss events like the Fireworks Extravaganza and the Barbecue and Bluegrass event at Barrington Hall. However, they’re looking for support to paint the town red, white, and blue! Through their Stars & Stripes in Roswell initiative, they’re inviting locals to hang up American flags at their homes and businesses. As you drive around town, make sure you look for the flags!

Nature Lovers

Stay cool out on the water! The Chattahoochee River is a great place to spend the 4th. You can kayak, canoe, paddleboard, or float in a tube down the river. Need to rent equipment? Nantahala Outdoor Center in Roswell has everything you need for a great day on the water! They have the latest equipment, life preservers, snacks, and drinks to take along on your trip. Make your reservation with them here.


Looking for something different? Take it to the trees! Sign up for zip lining on the Screaming Eagle Zipline Course at the Chattahoochee Nature Center. Space is limited, register in advance! Want to keep your feet on the ground? CNC has their annual summer exhibit, the Butterfly Encounter, where you can get up-close and personal with stunning butterfly species. Plan your visit here.

Family Fun

Spend the day on Commerce Parkway! A whole day of fun packed into one parking lot. Start the day with a round of mini-golf at the Fringe Miniature Golf Course. There are two different 18-hole courses to try. Make it fun by letting the winner choose where to grab dinner!
