After a 2020 hiatus due to Covid19, the Star Spangled Celebration is back in Calhoun and will be held at the Northwest Georgia Fairgrounds on Highway 53, Rome Road on Sunday, July 4.
A huge crowd is expected for the concerts. The Mohawk Stage will feature country singer Jess Kellie Adams & Band of Nashville, Tenn. Texas born, Ohio raised and now calling Nashville home, Jess is a country artist and songwriter whose mission is to spread love through her storytelling. A positive, energized and honest approach draws in a crowd as every song has the listener on a rollercoaster ride through heartbreak to love and strength. Nashville is calling her music creative, bold, fearless and raw in emotion. This awesome artist and her band will be featured at 7 p.m. and again at 8:30 p.m.
Hooch Holler is straight from the North Georgia mountains playing a mix of Southern rock, blues, country, and originals. Formed in 2012 this group travels and plays at concerts, festivals, and venues across the Southeast. The band has opened for numerous country artists. They are excited to kick back up after Covid19 and are ready to entertain the crowds. You will enjoy Hooch Holler performances at 6:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m.
Kids and adults alike will enjoy shows of magic and illusion by Mike Frisbee throughout the evening on the Midway Stage.
Bud Owens, organizer of this event since its beginning, says that admission is FREE thanks to presenting sponsor Mohawk.
“I am so excited that Mohawk has agreed to again sponsor the Star Spangled Celebration,” Owens said. “We are prepared to have a safe and fun event for the entire family with magic and illusion, an amazing concert, vendors and a great fireworks display to end the evening. I invite everyone to come out, come early, bring your chairs and blankets and let’s celebrate July 4th Calhoun style.”
The venue will have three parking lots open beginning at 4:30 p.m., with gates opening at 5 p.m. The best view of the fireworks is inside the fairgrounds.
