You can celebrate the Fourth of July as many times as you want in 2022 — because Stone Mountain is putting on the exact same show for five nights in a row.
Every evening from July 1st through July 5th, the Lasershow will begin at dusk and will be followed by the same spectacular fireworks finale each night of the celebration.
Stone Mountain’s firework display includes lasers, drones, flame cannons, and a giant Catherine Wheel — a type of firework that not only creates sparks and flame, but rotates rapidly for a spectacular display up to 50 feet in diameter. See the video below for highlights.
NOTE that the Lasershow and fireworks are not free this year. You must purchase a ticket — general admission for lawn seating is $10 for anyone age 3 and up. (Mountain Members pay just $5). There are also upgraded options, including a seat on the snack terrace with a meal.
More info on tickets
As always, you’ll pay $20 for a daily parking pass to Stone Mountain Park. (Often it’s worth it to pay $40 for the annual parking pass. The annual pass runs for 12 months, starting with the month you made the purchase.)

You can expect large crowds on the actual Fourth holiday, so on that day you may want to come to Stone Mountain Park early and spend most of the day.
There are plenty of attractions and things to do at Stone Mountain these days, and many of them come with a substantial price tag. If you plan to do a lot, you can buy an All-Attraction Pass — see the Groupon deal below, for the best price we’ve seen on the passes.

Hi Jennifer. I’m not sure which deal for $19.99 you’re referring to, but the info should be on the Stone Mountain website on the tickets page. Some of the ticket deals are blacked out for July 4th, so it also depends on when you want to go.
do you have to buy you tickets for the $19.95 deal online or can you get them at the gate?
