Local groups Lakeside, Past to Present, Stop ‘n’ Stare and The Hullenders performed. Catoosa County Commission Chairman Steven Henry said county leaders saw an opportunity to get on the festival map as other events fell off the calendar. “Watching everything else cancel, I kept thinking it’s been a bad enough 2020, with the COVID and the tornadoes. I just really wanted to try to bring some sense of normal back in the community,” he said.

Families gathered outdoors to watch a fireworks show which concluded the July Fourth festival at the Colonnade in Ringgold, Georgia. There was live music and children’s activities as well.
