City to hold annual fireworks show
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- The City of St. Joseph has announced the specifications of its annual fireworks show on the Fourth of July.
The fireworks will be launched from a spot on North Point Road, near the St. Joseph YMCA.
The show is set to start 15 minutes after dark, which would roughly be about 9:45 p.m., and will last 15 to 20 minutes.
Premier Pyrotechnics is the provider of the display.
The city said the recommended viewing area for those who want to view the display would be the parking lots at the Shoppes of North Village, Kohl's and the Regal Hollywood Theater.
Some areas around the launch site will be roped off or barricaded for the safety of both spectators and those launching the fireworks.
The city also said interested spectators are reminded to leave their personal fireworks at home for the safety of those around them, as well as to leave plenty of room for others to park and to plan to take any trash with them.
