Notification

I want to clarify after speaking with Ghost Coast Pyro again. A technician had a medical episode. No accident occurred. They are down on staff due to this and unable to perform our Fireworks show. We understand as a County government that social media affects many things. We do not want misinformation out there. Thank you for the prayers I’m sure they are appreciated but no accident involving Ghost Coast Pyro occurred. Thank you.

Due to the cancellation of Fireworks some vendors will be setting up on the Square. If you’re in the area, please come through and support them. We understand the planning and inventory that goes into an event like this and want them to have all of our support. I believe some are setting up in other areas. Watch for their updates and go by and support them. Thank you.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
UPDATE

Cancellation of Marion County’s Fourth of July Fireworks Celebration

It is with great disappointment that Marion County must cancel tonight’s Fourth of July fireworks celebration.

Due to an unforeseen personal medical incident with one of their technicians, our fireworks contractor, Ghost Coast Pyro has had to cancel. As a result, they are down a critical team member and have informed us they are unable to conduct tonight’s fireworks display.

We have looked into other possible contractors and are not able to get a licensed company onsite.

The safety of everyone involved—including the public, the fireworks crew, and emergency personnel—must remain our highest priority. Because the show cannot be conducted safely, we have made the difficult decision to cancel tonight’s event.

We sincerely apologize for this unexpected cancellation and the disappointment it causes our residents and visitors. We appreciate your understanding as we put safety first.

Thank you for your continued support, and we wish everyone a safe and Happy Independence Day.
