After almost two years since its last major concert, the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater returns to public performance Sunday with the Fourth of July event that usually draws a packed house.
Celebration on the River begins at 6 p.m. Sunday. The city-sponsored Independence Day show includes a kids zone of activities guided by the Tuscaloosa County Park and Recreation Authority, a pops and patriotic music concert performed by the Tuscaloosa Symphony Orchestra, a salute to the military led by Mayor Walt Maddox, and is capped by a 20-minute fireworks display. All events are free to attend.
Every Tuscaloosa Amphitheater concert of the 2020 season was wiped out because of the COVID-19 pandemic, since the musical acts chose to delay or cancel tours. The Holidays on the River ice-skating event, typically running November through January at the amphitheater, began and ran for a short while last year, but soon closed due to concerns over adequate personnel numbers.

A major event usually takes several years to really take hold, and spring is traditionally loaded with them. But a full calendar got wiped out a year ago by the coronavirus almost before anything could begin.
Heading into spring 2021, the situation is looking decidedly better. New cases are way down compared to January and February spikes. At the same time, vaccination rates are on the way up, and state restrictions are loosening up just a bit.
With all that in mind, organizers are again warily eyeing the calendar and other dynamics to see whether to try and move forward with their events.

Car enthusiasts around the country are forming support groups, and most of these groups are doing really well in as far as building a community is concerned.
The clubs were set up for all car owners with similar models to meet up, show off their rides and share their enthusiasm for a particular model.
These individuals come together to make car owner’s clubs for various reasons, including taking part in road trips, charity events, but mostly for mechanical support and a feeling of togetherness.
