Get ready for a fun-filled day on July 4th, as the Independence Day Celebration sponsored by Atrium Health Floyd takes over Ridge Ferry Park.

The park opens to the public at 4 p.m. with food trucks and concessions available. The inflatables in the kids zone open at 4 p.m., wristbands are $5. 

All of this helps lead up to the grand finale of the evening, a fireworks show that will be shot from the top of Jackson Hill starting at approximately 9:15 p.m. Zambelli Fireworks is once again shooting the display that will feature more than 1,500 fireworks of all types, colors, and sizes.

“We look forward to this event every year, and we want everyone to come out to the park and enjoy a great day of food, fun, music, and, of course, fireworks,” Todd Wofford, RFPRA Director, says. “We also want to thank Atrium Health Floyd for sponsoring this great event.”

Rome Radio Partners will once again be broadcasting a simulcast featuring patriotic music to go along with the display. Entrance to the event is free, but it is $5 to park.

Everyone is reminded that there are some limitations for Ridge Ferry Park, including no large coolers, no pets, no drones, no sparklers, and no fires. The main parking lot at Ridge Ferry is reserved for handicapped parking only, with regular parking available at the Shoals Side of Ridge Ferry, where the dog park is located.
