Spectaculars

Get red, white and blue ready for Madison-Morgan Cultural Center’s annual Independence Day Concert and Picnic, featuring patriotic favorites performed live on the lawn. Attendees are welcomed to bring picnic baskets, coolers, tables and chairs and encouraged to decorate their space in true Fourth of July style. Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty generally make an appearance and mingle with guests throughout the oldfashioned afternoon.

Watching fireworks at the lake can be a truly magical experience. There is something about the combination of the water, the sky, and the explosions of color and light that creates a unique and memorable atmosphere. While fireworks will fill the air over Lake Oconee from almost every cove, perhaps no one does it better than The RitzCarlton Reynolds, Lake

Oconee. Guests at the resort can enjoy the dazzling display on property and others can enjoy the show from the comfort of their own boats.

For those not on the water, drive on over to Bill Wood Park in Madison for a family-friendly fireworks extravaganza that begins at dusk. Come early for additional Fourth of July fun put on by the Morgan County Parks and Recreation department.
