Extreme fire conditions cause cancellation of PV Fireworks; BUT THE SHOW MUST GO ON with entertainment at the Civic Center!

After 22 years of successful and safe fireworks displays, Town of Prescott Valley Manager Larry Tarkowski regretfully shared the decision on Monday to cancel this year's show.

Although the fireworks had been permitted by the Central Arizona Fire and Medical Authority and the Town had plans for added patrol and fire protection, historic dry conditions, the lack of forecast rain and extreme fire danger through the coming week led to the decision. Tarkowski said the fireworks show will be moved to the Town's 40th Anniversary Pinnacle Weekend on Saturday, August 25.

The Town still will have a day of family fun, with all activities moved to the Prescott Valley Civic Center, 7501 E. Civic Circle. The fun starts at 3 p.m. as Hero Party Rentals will roll out a host of bounce houses and water filled inflatables. This awesome lineup of 4th of July attractions includes: 5 Lanes of water slides, 6 Lanes of dry slides, Vertical Reality Bungee Trampolines, 24' Rock Wall, the Human Gyroscope and much more.

While admission to the Civic Center campus and the live entertainment is free, the Hero Party Rental attractions require a wristband available at the Civic Center on July 4th. The price for the wristband has been lowered to $15. Get mementos of the fun at the deluxe photo booth, and enjoy glow products and Dippin' Dots concession sales.

A beer and food garden will open at 4 p.m.. The free live entertainment starts at 3pm with bluegrass masterworks by Ping Brothers and then at 6pm the awesome classic rock and country sound of Five in the Wheel. Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Bring blankets, lawn chairs and coolers if you like, (no EZ Ups or tents) but please leave the alcoholic beverages, grills, pets* and glass containers at home. For more information call Prescott Valley Parks & Recreation at 928-759-3090.

*Service Animals welcome
