Red, White, & BOOM! - Third of July Celebration

 
 


The City of Norcross is once again throwing a pre-Fourth of July block party and you’re invited! Make your way to the heart of downtown historic Norcross on July 3rd for food, fun and fireworks during the 2021 edition of Red White and BOOM!


The good times start at 5 p.m. with bounce houses (nominal fee), festive face painting and an assortment of food vendors. Stroll the city sidewalks to find Norcross’ eclectic collection of shops and restaurants, dance in the park or snag a spot on the lawn at Lillian Webb Park for a picnic and mingling with friends before the fireworks light up the night sky (after sunset, typically around 9:40 p.m.).


For those looking to continue the fun and celebration, head over to one of Norcross’ local hotspots for live music and libations!
