The Independence Day fireworks celebration is always a big draw in Rome, but this year, there were fireworks to celebrate the New Year.
According to a news release from Atrium Health Floyd:
The New Year’s Eve Fireworks Extravaganza was presented Saturday evening through a partnership between Atrium Health Floyd and Rome-Floyd Parks and Recreation. More than 800 shells were fired off for the 13-minute show.
Atrium Health Floyd and Rome-Floyd Parks and Recreation have agreed to a sponsorship covering several other big events, including the July Fourth Fireworks and Patriotic Party in Ridge Ferry Park, the Leprechaun-a-thon 5K Road Race and Health Walk in March and another road race and health walk in the fall.
