4. RiverBlast July Fourth Celebration

The Buzz -- Augusta celebrates Independence Day every year, lining the Savannah River to ooh and aah the crowd with sights and sounds of colorful and sonic fireworks. An arts and crafts bazaar, a variety of musical entertainment, dance and activities for the entire family are part of the festivities. There will also be a patriotic concert held in the Jessye Norman Amphitheater. Street vendors sell funnel cakes, beer, hot dogs, and commemorative t-shirts. Fun for everyone.
