Barnsley’s Spectacular Independence Day Weekend Special

June 03, 2019

It was a hot, muggy summer’s day in Philadelphia when representatives of the Second Continental Congress approved the document that would officially declare the birth of a new nation. Now, almost two-and-a-half centuries later, Barnsley Resort invites you to celebrate this Declaration of Independence with us as we also continue to celebrate our own 20^th year as North Georgia’s most elite travel destination. From July 4 – 7, Barnsley will host an Independence Day Weekend with exciting events and fun activities for the whole family. Festivities begin at 9:15 P.M. on Thursday, July 4, with a scintillating sparkler salute, followed by the screening of a patriotic film favorite under the stars. Complimentary popcorn, candy, and lawn chairs will be provided. After a good night’s rest in your luxurious Barnsley accommodations, you’ll have the opportunity to learn the basics of canoeing and kayaking from friendly, expert staff on our tranquil 10-acre lake. Then it’s off to the Beer Garden for lunch and bicycle decorating to prepare for the Independence Day bicycle parade through Barnsley Village. (Though a limited number of resort bicycles will be available, guests are encouraged to bring their own if possible.) Dinner for the evening will consist of a classic American barbecue buffet accompanied by live musical entertainment and culminating in a spectacular fireworks show.
