As we begin to venture out and schedule get-togethers and events, it has become clear that July 4, 2020 will be different this year. And celebrating the 4th of july around NW metro Atlanta as of right now will be challenging. Several festivities and firework displays have already been cancelled including Acworth and Marietta.

Celebrate with Hamilton
Well, the Broadway phenomenon “Hamilton” will be aired on Disney+ on July 3. So why not host a movie night? After all, Hamilton was one of our founding fathers. You can subscribe to Disney+ and stream the movie at home.
