The fireworks will begin at 9:45 p.m., choreographed to a music soundtrack that will be broadcast on KBZI rock station 107.1.
Through the evening, there will be bounces for the children to play on, along with games, contests and food for children and adults.
Those attending may bring chairs and blankets for seating, and coolers; however, alcohol, fireworks, barbecues and fires are not allowed.
A shuttle will be available from 7 to 11 p.m. to transport those who park at Memorial Hall. Parents must provide car seats for children 4 and younger.
