American Celebration

Car Show: 3pm - 6pm

Music, Games, Inflatables, Fireworks, Food Vendors: 5pm - Dark

The American Celebration hosted by Snellville First Baptist has been a wonderful gift to the community since the early 1990's.  It began as an outdoor celebration featuring the Celebration Choir and Orchestra and special guest artists presenting musical performances followed by a tremendous fireworks display.  In these early days the celebration was known as the I Love America Celebration.  Recently the celebration known as The American Celebration has continued to be a great event for the community featuring inflatable rides and games for the children and fun games for adults as well.  Food vendors like The Varsity, Uncle Betty's, PaPa John's, the Lion's Club and many others have provided terrific food for the crowds in years past.   Of course every year's celebration is always followed by an incredible fireworks show


This year First Baptist Snellville's American Celebration will be on Sunday July 3rd beginning at 5pm.  There will be free inflatable rides and many games for the children.  Food vendors like those in years past and several others will be there to provide delicious food.  Many other games and activities will be enjoyed by all ages.  At the same time on the Snellville Town Green, the City of Snellville will be hosting the Star Spangled Snellville Celebration.  A variety of music artists from the community and the Celebration Orchestra will be featured on the Main Stage on the Green.   Please come out on the afternoon of July 3rd and enjoy these wonderful celebrations as we all celebrate the freedoms we experience in this wonderful country in which we live.  Some of our finest Snellville Police officers will be on site at both celebrations and will assist pedestrians across Hwy. 78.

An event of this size requires lots of volunteers to make it a success.  There are many areas you can help with.  If you would like to help, please contact the church at 770-978-7000.
