Minneapolis cancels July 4 fireworks due to construction, staff shortages
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – These planning to have a good time the Fourth of July in Minneapolis must skip the town’s namesake celebration, in keeping with a latest announcement.
As a result of development at Father Hennepin Park and workers shortages, the normal Crimson, White and Growth celebration is not going to be held this yr. That is the third yr in a row the fireworks show has been canceled, with the earlier two years canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In earlier years, the annual celebrations supplied fireworks that might be seen from quite a few vantage factors over the Mississippi River.
As an alternative, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board will host smaller, household pleasant July 4 occasions at parks throughout the town, together with Lake Harriet, Lake Nokomis, Logan Park and Victory Park.
In the meantime, Minneapolis’ Aquatennial fireworks, that are marketed as within the high 5 fireworks exhibits within the nation, are scheduled for July 23 alongside the Mississippi Riverfront on West River Parkway close to Portland Avenue.
