MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — Spending the Fourth of July at Lake Tobesofkee has long been a tradition for many Middle Georgia residents.

This Independence Day is an opportunity for newly opened local businesses to connect with the community and grow.

Ayeshia Dubose, the owner of Aunt Sweets Dreams, was one of the business owners at Sandy Beach Park on Thursday.

“I just want to get the business out there, let people see us and get to know us,” she said. “We also do parties and stuff like that, kids’ birthday parties, so we just want everybody to know that we’re here if they need us.”

Thursday’s festivities at Lake Tobesofkee concluded with a fireworks show.

Groups honor Georgia’s constitution signers with July 4th program

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – To mark our nation’s 248th birthday, members of more than half a dozen civic and masonic organizations came together for the 14th annual Fourth of July celebration.

It was held at the Signers’ Monument in Augusta.

The monument honors the three Georgia representatives who signed the Declaration of Independence — George Walton, Lyman Hall and Button Gwinnett.

Floral offerings were presented at the monument while music was performed by the Summerville Brass Quintet.

“I’ve been doing this program for probably 13 or 14 years now. For me, it’s been a terrific way to kick off the July 4 celebration. Celebrating this country, learning a little about our history, but also making beautiful music,” said Fabio Mann with the Summerville Brass Quintet.

Walton and Hall are buried under the Signers’ Monument.
