Oro Valley Fireworks Postponed
The Fourth of July fireworks show in Oro Valley has been postponed due to the ongoing Bighorn Fire. Town officials haven’t set a new date yet, but they’ll let everyone know once plans are in place.
“Our timing just isn’t right for fireworks,” said Town Manager Mary Jacobs. “We’re grateful for our partner, Golder Ranch Fire District, and everything they do. While we know this is disappointing, safety comes first. We’ll find a time later this year to celebrate our nation’s birthday together.”
Originally, the fireworks were to be launched at Naranja Park on July 4th, although no spectators were allowed. The Town had already called off other celebration activities planned for that day.
“The safety of the public and our firefighters is our top priority,” shared Golder Ranch Fire Chief Randy Karrer. “We hope our community can celebrate safely in a fun and unique way this summer.”
