Reliance Bank’s Seventh Annual Fire Cracker Festival is set for Saturday at Athens High School’s stadium.

Activities begin outside the stadium at 3 p.m. with inflatables, pony rides and food vendors.

This year, a stage also will be set up outside the stadium rather than inside so people can see the bands better, said Brooke Burns with Reliance.

People can bring lawn chairs to set up to watch the bands, she said.

Entertainment will be:

• 5:30 p.m.: The Shakes

• 6:30 p.m.: The Flying Dutchmen

• 7:30 p.m.: The Dixie Bluegrass Band

As it does every year, the fireworks show begins at dusk inside the stadium.
