Where to Watch Fireworks in Atlanta

Photo by Jeff Roffman. Atlanta Symphony Fireworks on Fourth of July 2012.

The three best bets for places to see fireworks in Atlanta are at the Centennial Park in Downtown, at the Braves game and at Stone Mountain. The Stone Mountain fireworks need a park pass. There are a variety of local fireworks that we have listed below. There are some good options for nearby bars, restaurants and rooftops that can always enhance the overall experience. For folks who have been around Atlanta for a while, the traditional Lenox Square Mall fireworks are no longer occurring.
