Bank Street will be closed to through-traffic and parking on Monday, July 3, for set-up of the festivities. The Corwyn Conyers-sponsored stage on Bank Street will feature an Earth, Wind and Fire tribute by The Ray Howard Band and local artists beginning at 7 p.m.

Children’s activities will be in the lower tier of the city’s Main Street parking lot and include pay-to-play bounce houses, slides and obstacle courses, and face painting. The Ice Days Conyers-sponsored stage, located at the Olde Town Pavilion at Randal S. Mills City Center Park, will feature local favorite, Slim and the Gems.
Those attending are encouraged to bring folding chairs and blankets to enjoy an evening of patriotic festivities. Fireworks will begin at dark, or between 9:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. The Corwyn Conyers is the presenting sponsor for Red, White and Boom. The Glimmering Gold Sponsor is Ice Days Conyers and Patriotic Blue Sponsors are Brightmoor Hospice and Falcons Fury Harley Davidson. Celebrate Community Sponsors include: KBCN, Clearwave Fiber, About Conyers Magazine, KJ Insurance, and Conyers Best Laundry.
“Red, White and Boom is a wonderful opportunity for city and county governments to collaborate on another memorable event for our community,” said Rockdale County Board of Commissioners Chairman Oz Nesbitt. Roads in the immediate area of the festivities will close on Monday, July 3, 5:30 p.m. Pine Street (between Milstead Avenue and Pine Log Road), Main Street (at Milstead Avenue south to Main Street parking lot), Center Street, Court Street, and Commercial Street will all be closed to through-traffic by Conyers Police.
“We are prepared to welcome everyone to Olde Town Conyers for the patriotic festivities and ask that the public exercise patience and caution due to limited parking when arriving for the event and safety at the conclusion of the event,” said Chief of Police Scott Freeman.
Parking is available throughout Olde Town in church parking lots, the library, and city parking lots, but the public is encouraged to utilize a complimentary shuttle service that will run between the hours of 5:30 p.m.-10:30 p.m. on July 3 from two parking areas: Restoration Storehouse at 1400 Parker Road and Rockdale Career Academy at 1064 Culpepper Drive.
Shuttles, which will also accommodate guests with disabilities, will transport those attending the event to a convenient drop-off point in Olde Town Conyers and provide return transport to the lots. “Diverse food choices, great bands, fun and fireworks are what draws everyone together for the patriotic festivities in Olde Town,” said Mayor Vince Evans. “We are eager to celebrate the holiday with friends and neighbors in the heart of Conyers.”
In the event of severe, inclement weather on July 3, the public is encouraged to stay tuned to the city and county social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for updates on whether the event will be rescheduled. If postponed on July 3, only the fireworks portion of the Red, White and Boom event will take place on Saturday, July 8 at 9:30 p.m. For more information on Red, White and Boom and other events, visit conyersga.com.
