COLUMBUS, Ga. (WRBL) — Phenix City has been lighting up the Chattahoochee Riverfront on the Fourth of July for three decades and this year is no different. “Our residents love it,” said Phenix City City Manager Wallace Hunter. “It’s always been popular.” Free music, fireworks and fun. What is there not to love? Phenix City is preparing for its annual riverfront music show and fireworks at the amphitheater. Parks and Rec Director Todd Hughes says he expects the annual event to draw a crowd.
