Since this was my first Independence Day weekend in Augusta, I got to experience several new things. The fun started with First Friday. Then Saturday brought more fun events, followed by a nighttime fireworks show at the Fifth Street Bridge. My photos of the show were blurry, so that’s why the Cotton Exchange and Imperial Theatre photos are here instead. If you ever catch the show yourself, I think something they include every year is the "waterfall" of white lights cascading into the Savannah River. Definitely look for that — it's spectacular.
