Independence Day Celebration

 ATLANTA -- Independence Day is a time to celebrate America with cookouts, time with family and friends and of course, fireworks.
Even if you're planning to celebrate the 4th of July with family and friends, there are plenty of opportunities to celebrate in a bigger way.
The AJC Peachtree Road Race has been an Independence Day tradition for decades in Atlanta. Runners will get started in Buckhead, race south on Peachtree Street, up Heart Attack Hill, into Midtown and finish in Piedmont Park. If you're not running, cheer the runners on along the route.
After the race, make your way Downtown to Centennial Olympic Park. A number of events are planned around the park and at nearby attractions. Just make sure to stake out a spot for your blanket on the lawn for the Fireworks Spactacular.

In Douglasville, celebrate the 4th of July with a Day chock full of events including a parade and a fireworks display.
For the younger, hipper set (and those of us still think we are) Metromix has a nice rundown of the "cool" Independence Day events.
