The free show will be visible from the same two convenient locations at RiverEdge Park, 360 N. Broadway, and McCullough Park, 128 W. Illinois Avenue.

Irvin. “Safety is our top priority. We appreciate everyone’s patience, understanding, and cooperation during the evacuation process. We’ll come back together in a few weeks and enjoy a wonderful Friday evening watching the fireworks.”
