Looking for a great way to celebrate Independence Day this year? The attractions along the New Orleans riverfront suggest that you look no further as the 17th Annual Go 4th on the River is the place to be this July 4.

In addition to a day full of entertainment and activities for the entire family, this great annual event features a fireworks extravaganza over the Mississippi River with "dueling barges"...ranked the 5th most "must see" fireworks displays in the U.S. by the American Pyrotechnics Association.
