The Columbus Chamber of Commerce will hold their annual 4th of july Celebration on July 4, 2023 at the Columbus Golf Course.

Fireworks have been a part of Independence Day celebrations since July 1777, the signing of the Declaration of Independence. That signing and celebration took place in the midst of the Revolutionary War, complete with explosions and artillery fire. Preseident John Adams ordered fireworks displays to hearld the birth of the United States with one of the most reconnizable celebrations of the time.

The fireworks displays of today are meant to mimic those “bombs bursting into air” and a beautiful way to remember the sacrifcies made by our forefathers long ago.
