how do we go about getting a handicap parking space it is to far to walk and standing for the shuttle bus is a task when you cant stand but only for a few minutes, thanks Dorothy
Hi Dorothy,
For parking information, please call (770) 917-1234.
For those of us that are new to town, where should we park, and how to we get to the park? For people that don’t purchase a table, will there be picnic space available, and is there a playground or something to keep children occupied?
Hi Jackie,
Parking is available at various locations downtown, and shuttle service is available from the City Hall parking lot beginning at 3pm. Regarding the picnic space, yes there will be plenty of space and numerous activities for the kids. Welcome to Acworth and hope you have a great time at the festival.
Can we bring lawn chairs or does it have to be blankets?
Thanks
Hi Lynn,
You can bring lawn chairs or blankets or both. Hope you have a great time and enjoy the fireworks.
Are the fireworks still on for tonight?
Hi Marcha,
For the latest information, please call (770) 917-1234 or visit http://www.acworth.org/acworthga/
the website had no information regarding cancellations or rescheduling of the fireworks show. Also, no one answers the phone number.
That website has no information on whether the fireworks are still on and when you call the number, it says “that mailbox is full”. Does anyone know if the fireworks are still on tonight?
if raining ,as it is, when might they cancel show, or will they?
Are the fireworks still on? i called the number but its busy, any info??
Found a website that says rain date is tomorrow at 9:30 if they’re rained out tonight, and per weather.com there is 100% chance of rain at 9pm, 85% at 10pm, 50% at 11pm…my guess is cancelled
APD drove by; fireworks have been cancelled for the nite.
Hi JJ,
Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear that but it is better to be safe. Happy 4th everyone!
Hi,
So have the fireworks been rescheduled for tonight (July 5th)? Weather was awful and the Marietta Square still did theirs I’ve heard…
Thanks!
Hi Beth,
According to the Acworth Parks and Recreation Department, “The canceled July 4th Concert and Fireworks are not scheduled for Tuesday, July 5th. They will be rescheduled for a later date in the summer.”
Hi,
What date might they reschedule the fireworks for?? My daughter is anxious to find out.
Thanks!!
Hi Paige,
No reschedule date has been announced yet for the Acworth fireworks. Woodstock also canceled their fireworks yesterday and rescheduled their event for tonight – July 5, 2011. The address is:
Target Shopping Center, 140 Woodstock Square Avenue, Woodstock, GA 30189
Why would they not do them tonight… that’s just crazy. Later on in the summer… no meaning to it, might as well have a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in August.
