This year, Peachtree City is marking its 65th anniversary in an exceptionally vibrant and eco-friendly style. Founded with an innovative vision, this city boasts over 100 miles of golf cart pathways that not only provide an eco-friendly mode of transportation but also offer a unique and entertaining way to navigate through its scenic landscapes. These pathways link the community to various recreational, shopping, and dining venues along with resort-style hotels and golf courses. As the Independence Day celebrations unfold, visitors and residents alike are invited to explore these green thoroughfares, which will be buzzing with excitement and patriotic spirit.

The festivities kicked off last July 4th with a parade starting at 9 am, beginning in front of Village on the Green and making its way through the city, ending at the McIntosh Trail Complex. Spectators can enjoy the parade from numerous viewing points along the route, creating an inclusive community atmosphere. The celebration doesn’t end with the parade; as dusk settles, the sky over Lake Peachtree will illuminate with fireworks, creating a spectacular display of light and color to conclude the day’s events. Whether atop a golf cart or on foot, this is a day to enjoy Peachtree City’s unique blend of community spirit and eco-conscious living.

The summer heat is beatable in Peachtree City, thanks to its wonderful aquatic facilities. The Glenloch Recreation Complex offers a reprieve from the heat with its swimming pool, kid’s pool, and splash pad — all open daily through Labor Day from 10 am to 6 pm on weekdays and 1 pm to 6 pm on Sundays. Meanwhile, the Kedron Fieldhouse and Aquatic Center, open year-round, features a 25-yard competitive swimming pool and a heated instructional pool, ensuring there’s always an opportunity for a refreshing dip. Both facilities are staffed with lifeguards for safe, family-friendly fun. Fayette County and Peachtree City residents enjoy these cool escapes at discounted rates, adding another layer of community to these recreational hubs.

Whether it’s an afternoon splash with the children or some laps in the competitive pool, these centers provide the perfect summertime solution. The Glenloch and Kedron complexes are not just about staying cool; they are vital parts of the community, offering spaces for relaxation, exercise, and enjoyable family time. Their convenient operating hours ensure that everyone, regardless of their schedule, has the chance to take advantage of these fantastic amenities throughout the summer.

July in Peachtree City sizzles with more than just the summer heat — The Fred, a 2,500-seat amphitheater heralded for its beauty and acoustics, lines up an array of must-see performances. Tribute band Rumours ATL brought the magic of Fleetwood Mac to the stage last July 13, and it will be followed by the iconic sounds of Air Supply on July 20. The month’s musical journey culminates with YES Epics & Classics, featuring Jon Anderson, on July 27, promising unforgettable evenings filled with classic hits. Beyond these performances, the Food Truck Thursday event in August at Drake Field offers another layer of community engagement and culinary exploration, further showcasing Peachtree City’s vibrant local culture and its commitment to bringing people together for memorable experiences.

Peachtree City’s variety of events, from high-energy concerts at The Fred to the relaxed and family-friendly Food Truck Thursdays, exemplifies the community’s dedication to providing entertaining and quality experiences for its residents and visitors. With such a rich calendar of activities, alongside appealing shopping, dining, and lodging options, the city invites everyone to come and experience its charm firsthand. The enticement doesn’t end with the summer; Peachtree City encourages all to return and continue discovering the plethora of experiences it offers, making every visit more enchanting than the last.
