Get ready for the fireworks at @10:15 p.m. We may be partial, but we think this is one of the BEST shows in the valley. A few notes about Hunters Creek Park: No smoking or pets in the park. Please remember to keep your furry family members secure at home during fireworks. Bring low back chairs and blankets to sit on. Pop-up tents are welcome but please be courteous to other visitors and keep them behind the sound and lighting booth so people in the front have an unobstructed view. The park bathrooms and south parking lot will be closed to the public for fire safety reasons. Porta potty’s will be available throughout the park. The east parking lot near the baseball fields will be closed to vehicle traffic. Outside food is welcome, but there will be food trucks and refreshment vendors from 3 p.m. and throughout the evening in the west parking lot. We will have traffic control to help clear traffic after the event. We encourage our local guests to walk or bicycle to the park, if possible.
