One of East Cobb’s most notable July 4 events is not taking place this year: The Indian Hills Country Club’s fireworks show.
A social media posting Tuesday morning said COVID-19 restrictions were the cause:
“We wish things were different and like you, we hope to get back to normal very soon. Until then, we are doing our part to keep everyone in our community safe. Thanks for understanding.”
The message asked individuals not to gather on the golf course on the night of July 4, as is the custom when fireworks take place.
Individuals and neighborhoods will be allowed to fire off fireworks until midnight on Friday, July 3, as well as Saturday, July 4, as Cobb County government has outlined in a reminder it issued earlier this week.
The county said there have been more complaints about late-night fireworks during the pandemic.
Most other local July 4 events also have been called off including the City of Marietta’s July 4 parade and celebrations, as well as the City of Roswell’s fireworks extravaganza.
