Athens will be celebrating Independence Day early with a fireworks display on July 2. Launched from the Athens-Ben Epps Airport, the 30-minute display is advertised to be seen (and heard) as far as Gaines School Road. Athens-Clarke County has designated certain areas for viewing, which include the intersection of Lexington, Cherokee and Gaines School Roads. Parking will also be available closer to the airport on the field at Satterfield Park, but be aware that it is first-come, first-serve. No fireworks are allowed while viewing the fireworks. Make sure to consult the ACC government website for designated and safe parking areas before settling down to view the show.
