Celebrate July 4th with fireworks at Laurel Park

Hall County Government invites residents to enjoy spectacular fireworks on July 4 at Laurel Park, benefitting the American Legion Paul E. Bolding Post 7.  Hall County Parks and Leisure, Sheriff's Office, Fire Services, Public Works, Public Safety and the Correctional Institution donate services each year to support this longstanding local tradition.

 

Laurel Park is located at 3100 Old Cleveland Hwy, Gainesville. Gates will open at 9 a.m. for visitors to enjoy the sports facilities, playground, spray ground, dog park and views of Lake Lanier. A spectacular fireworks display, provided by the American Legion and Hall County Government, begins at dusk. Parking is $5 per car. Snow cones, hot dogs and other concessions will be sold by North Georgia Boy Scouts.

 

Boat ramps at Laurel Park will be closed July 4 to make more room for event parking, but boaters are invited to launch at Clarks Bridge Park or Little River Park boat ramps nearby and watch the fireworks from the water.
