Walton County Fourth of July Celebrations
There are several Independence Day events planned in Walton County for those who don't want to venture too far from home.
Staying home to celebrate the Fourth of July instead of traveling? You can pack your weekend full of local events starting Saturday and ending with a fireworks display on Monday, July Fourth.
The Loganville Fourth of July parade will not happen this year as the city didn't budget for a second parade, but there are plenty of other events that you can attend.
Start your celebration on Saturday at noon at Monroe's historic courthouse. The Walton County TEA Party will have speaker Reverend Jody Hice to help celebrate America and its independence.
