Star Spangled Classic To Be Socially Distant This Year

Athens-Clarke County Unified Government

The Annual Star Spangled Classic will take place the evening of July 3rd at the Athens Ben Epps Airport.

The fireworks display is set to begin at 9:30 pm. The annual tradition has changed slightly this year as spectators are encouraged to treat the display as a drive-in experience. Viewers can park at a preferred vantage point and watch from their cars to maintain social distance and prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Limited parking will be available at the airport and nearby Scatterfield Park. Spectators  are reminded to respect private property and avoid parking at roadsides.

More information can be found at the Leisure Services Department website.
