July 4th in Atlanta: Independence Day Events
Decatur Courthouse Square
Clairemont Ave at Ponce De Leon Pl, Decatur, GA 30030
Atlanta's most walk-able 'hood is also one of the most family-friendly--and perfect for a July 4th celebration. The Decatur celebration kicks off with a Pied Piper Parade at 6pm, followed by a Callanwolde Concert Band performance at 7pm at the Courthouse. Fireworks begin just after dark. We suggest an early dinner at Tesoro or Leon's as an excuse to find good parking. 
Lenox Square
3393 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30326
It's tough to go wrong at the 4th of July celebration at Lenox Square Mall, which has been giving Buckhead a proper fireworks display (largest in the Southeast) for the last 50 years, Tykes can enjoy the Kids Zone and 'rents have reason to dance to cover icons Party on the Moon. Festivities kick off at 6pm and wrap up at a reasonable 10pm. 
Six Flags Over Georgia
7561 Riverside Parkway, Austell, GA 30168
An all-you-can-eat luncheon goes classic style with pulled pork, hot dogs, baked potato salad and fizzy refreshments. Ride the coasters (but let that food settle first) until dusk and enjoy a spectacular fireworks show in honor of America's birthday.
Stone Mountain Park
Hwy 78 E (Exit 8), Stone Mountain, GA 30087
Why have one night of fireworks when you can have three? Atlanta's favorite family-friendly giant stone park does fireworks (post laser show) July 3 through the 5. Parking prices are raised to $10 per car, and we suggest getting there a bit on the early side. Plus this gives you time to set up a picnic or have the tykes devour bad-for-you treats like Dippin' Dots or Mexican churros. It IS a holiday, after all. 
Turner Field
755 Hank Aaron Dr SE, Atlanta, GA 30315
Somehow, Atlanta is batting .1000 for home baseball games landing on iconic summer holidays: Memorial Day, Father's Day, and the granddaddy of them all, the July 4th. Sunshine, hot hogs, cold beer, baseball and fireworks afterward: We can think of few better ways to celebrate.
July 4th in Atlanta: Outdoor Restaurants and Bars
Cafe di Sol
640 N Highland Ave, Atlanta, GA 30306
Boasting a light cafe menu and summer-y cocktails like the grapefruit rosewater martini, Cafe di Sol has the best patio in Virginia Highlands. Bonus: It's on one of the city's best shopping strips. Vintage stores, high-brow boutiques and gift shops mix it up dangerously among the Highland bar drag. Shopping and drinking: how American! 
Fox Bros. BBQ
1238 Dekalb Ave, Atlanta, GA 30307
Is there anything more American than barbecue on July 4th? We think not. Rising from catering company to one of our city's finest 'cue joints, Fox Bros' Marta track-side patio provides a cool setting for throwing back smoky goodness in the form of chicken, ribs and pulled pork. The Tomminator (tots covered in Brunswick stew and melted cheese) and the spicy-yet-smoked chicken wings get our vote for reasons to go. 
Park Tavern
500 10th St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309
We love the Park Tavern as an early option for July 4th because you can watch runners from the 40th Peachtree Road Race finish the 6.2 mile jaunt as you sit, drink and eat. Plus, we think the Tavern's after-party is a perfect excuse to high-five and drink with strangers. 
Whiskey Blue
3377 Peachtree Rd, Atlanta, GA 30316
Those wanting a club option, or just looking to avoid the kid scene at neighboring Lenox Square should look no further than Whiskey Blue. The top floor bar in the W Buckhead will have a well-dressed crowd and sophisticated cocktails for a July 4th celebration. The rooftop patio just adds another reason to scope those fireworks from a distance. 
Brewhouse Cafe
401 Moreland Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307
No better way to take in the color of celebrate July 4th in Atlanta than with some freak-tastic fun via Brewhouse patio in Little Five Points. Enjoy lunch and a few refreshing Pain Killer cocktails before heading a few doors down for the Star Bar Big 4th Party. Afternoon and evening entertainment that has no kids involved will be well worth the $8 admission for the Atlanta single set.
