Due to concerns about COVID-19, Snellville has postponed the city’s Star Spangled Snellville celebration normally held on July 4. The event, complete with fireworks, food, entertainment and live music, will take place 3 to 9 p.m. Sept. 5 on the Towne Green.

“The safety of our citizens and visitors comes first and we knew July 4 was too soon to have a large gathering of people,” said Executive Director Kelly McAloon. “Please mark your calendar for Sept. 5 for a Star Spangled Labor Day event on the Snellville Towne Green. This fun filled family day will bring back great bands, festival food and a kids’ zone for hours of fun and of course one of the best fireworks shows in the Southeast.”

Details about the entertainment will be updated regularly at www.snellvilletourism.com/ .
