The City of Bainbridge will host fireworks at the Earle May Boat Basin on Sunday, July 4, for their annual July 4 Celebration. The fireworks show will begin at dark, with Jared Dowdy singing the National Anthem and patriotic music playing while patrons watch the fireworks display.

This year’s celebration will not feature any entertainment, nor will there be food vendors on site, but the City is encouraging people to come, have a picnic dinner and enjoy spending time with family and friends at the Boat Basin before the fireworks begin.

Southwest Georgia’s largest fireworks show is sure to be fun for the entire family, so don’t miss it at the Earle May Boat Basin on July 4!
