4 fun ways to celebrate Independence Day in Auburn & Opelika

The 4th of July (one of our very favorite holidays) is quickly approaching, this Saturday to be exact! It can be so much fun to celebrate the independence of our great American country in the Auburn-Opelika area. So, we have found and highlighted 4 things you can do to celebrate Independence Day all weekend long.

1. Heart of Waverly BBQ

Nothing says celebrating our Independence more to me than eating some good old fashion BBQ with friends or family. Luckily, The Heart of Waverly BBQ will be held on July 3rd at the Standard Deluxe. There will be amazing live music and yummy local BBQ from Butcher Paper, but make sure to BYOC (bring your own chair, to clarify).

The 69th Annual Freedom Celebration is the perfect way to start your 4th of July weekend. This is an event for the whole family with fun games, classic patriotic foods, live music, and fireworks of course.
