Kennesaw residents who want to celebrate the Fourth of July with the city will have to wait an additional two months.

The city has rescheduled its Salute to America event, set for Friday, July 3, to Saturday, Sept. 12. Kennesaw’s event is traditionally held the day before the holiday and includes live music, food and a fireworks show.

Kennesaw said its decision was made “out of an abundance of caution for the health and wellness of our community” and to comply with social distancing guidelines.

Participants in the viral campaign raised money to fight ALS and drew attention to the cause by pouring buckets of ice water over their heads and posting the videos online. The challenge has made a comeback in 2025 for a new cause. (AP file photo/David J. Phillip)
