Cedartown plans June 27 "America250" Independence Day celebration with fireworks
Summary
City Manager Edward Guzman told the Cedartown City Commission the city plans an "America250" Independence Day event on June 27 at Bert Wood Park from 7–10 p.m., featuring a fireworks show and a possible morning parade through historic downtown. No formal approvals or funding details were recorded.
City Manager Edward Guzman told the Cedartown City Commission that the city is planning an "America250" Independence Day celebration on June 27, 2026, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Bert Wood Park and that the evening would end with a fireworks display.
Guzman said the celebration could also include a morning parade through historic downtown, though planning details and approvals were not specified in the work session record. The Finance Director, Amy Orebaugh, and City Clerk Mitzi Allen were present for the discussion, but the transcript does not show any vote or funding decision tied to the proposal.
Why it matters: The event would use a public park and downtown routes and is likely to require coordination on public safety, traffic, park reservations and fireworks permitting. The transcript does not record whether the city identified a budget, fundraising plan, vendors, or required permits.
Next steps: The Commission did not take a formal vote during the work session; the matter was discussed during general business and will require further staff follow-up to finalize logistics, financing and any required permits.
