The City of Gulf Shores will celebrate the Fourth of July with a display of fireworks, beginning at 9 tonight. Thundering blossoms, crackling chrysanthemums, and twinkling stars full of gold and glitter are a few of the specialty shell fireworks that will be included in the show.
Sunny 105.7 radio will play music to coincide with the show. In the case of delay or cancellation, Sunny 105.7 will broadcast that information immediately.
The fireworks may be seen from any Gulf Shores-area beach. The display will be launched from a barge in the Gulf of Mexico, south of the point where Gulf Shores Parkway (Alabama 59) meets the Gulf. Authorized fireworks watercraft will be located on site at approximately 3 p.m. As a safety measure, no boats or personal watercraft will be permitted in the surrounding area.
In case of severe weather, the fireworks display will take place Wednesday on the same schedule. For more information, call the Special Events Office at 968-1172.
