RED, WHITE & BOOM!
Annual Fireworks in Olde Town Conyers at the Red, White & Boom! on July 3. The city of Conyers and Rockdale County governments have partnered to bring the Independence Day fireworks to the heart of Olde Town Conyers in Red, White and Boom July 3, from 6 p.m.-10 p.m.
Bank Street will be closed to traffic and parking on July 3 in anticipation of the set-up of the event that day. The main stage on Bank Street will feature live bands. Several food trucks
will be located nearby off of Bank Street, while the children’s activities will be in the lower level of the city’s Main Street parking lot. There may also be a children’s dedicated play area under the Pavilion, across the street from the city’s Main Street parking lot. The children’s area may include pay-to-play activities, and face painting based on each vendor.
Citizens are encouraged to wear red, white and blue patriotic apparel and bring folding chairs and blankets to enjoy an evening of patriotic festivities in Olde Town Conyers. Fireworks will begin at dark, or between 9:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m.
Roads in the immediate area of the festivities will close at 5:30 p.m. on July 3. Pine Street (between Milstead Avenue and Pine Log Road), Main Street (at Milstead Avenue south to Main Street parking lot), Center Street, Court Street, and Commercial Street will all be closed to through-traffic by Conyers Police. (see map)
Parking lots that front Milstead Avenue at the Rockdale County Courthouse will not be available to the public for parking or spectating as it is in close proximity to the fireworks launch area and only authorized personnel are permitted in the area. Parking is encouraged throughout Olde Town in church parking lots, city parking lots, etc. (see map)
A complimentary shuttle service will run between the hours of 5:30 p.m.-10:30 p.m. on July 3 from two parking areas: the Rockdale County Government Annex at 1400 Parker Road and Rockdale Career Academy at 1064 Culpepper Drive.
