Any other time of year, Stone Mountain Park is known as a great hiking location. But from July 1-5, it transforms into an award-winning light show and fireworks hotspot.

Then the patriotic fireworks show kicks off, filling the sky with red, white and blue.
A light show and fireworks ticket range from $5 to $20, depending on your preferred seating. The shows are also included in an attractions ticket, which gives you access to more of Stone Mountain Park’s activities. You can buy tickets at Stone Mountain Park’s website here.
