Good morning, Roswell.

The City of Roswell invites residents to celebrate the annual Fourth of July at Roswell Area Park on July 4th from 6 to 10 p.m., where family-friendly bands, over 15 food trucks, and fireworks will feature in the event—guests may bring chairs and blankets while outside food is allowed and animals are not permitted.

VRAI released a ranking that shows Georgia residents favor oval diamonds—followed by emerald, round brilliant, marquise and princess—for engagement rings.

The list differs from the national ranking where round brilliant diamonds lead.

More than 600 people took part in the inaugural Pride Walk Roswell 2025 on June 21 at Heart of Roswell Park.

The walk, led by Jennifer Donlon of Roswell Empowered—a grassroots organization—moved along Canton Street and ended with a local after party.

AAA reported that a historic number of Georgians will travel for the July 4 holiday with 2.3 million expected to travel and 2.1 million planning to drive; nationwide, 72.2 million Americans will travel between June 28 and July 6.

AAA noted that gas prices are lower than last holiday — around $2.95 per gallon — even though oil price changes could affect rates before the celebration.

Georgia firefighters are preparing for more emergency calls today as heat advisories warn temperatures will hit 98 degrees with the heat index over 100—officials stress the need to stay hydrated and seek shelter promptly.

Gina Torjak—a metro area swim instructor—warned parents to ensure their young children know how to swim before using floatation devices at pools or beaches this summer, as these devices can encourage a dangerous drowning posture.
