Viewing is available from multiple areas in the downtown area. People should spread out as much as possible in the downtown area.
People should also remember that we are shooting the fireworks from a low central spot in the Valley and that the best viewing areas are in the surrounding hills and higher locations.
We have the natural topography and setting to allow for us to spread out. We encourage everyone to search out the best viewing spots in the surrounding hills as the downtown parking area is limited.
We’ve done a great job as a community so far. Let’s keep it up.
