GRAND HAVEN, Mich. — The City of Grand Haven will host a fireworks show for Independence Day a few days early this year.
This spring, the fireworks provider that the city has used in the past let them know they wouldn't be able to put on the show this year.
So instead of July 4 like years past, the city's fireworks show will be held on Saturday, July 1, along the waterfront.
This is due to the limited availability of qualified firework display companies.
"After consultation with our Musical Fountain programming team, the City was able to locate a commitment from Pyrotecnico Fireworks to put together the kind of high-quality fireworks show that the community and visitors have come to enjoy each year," the city said.
To accommodate the fireworks display, the following roads will be closed from 6:30 p.m. on July 1 until 2 a.m. on July 2:
- Harbor Drive between Sherman and N. First
- Washington from Harbor to First
- Franklin from Harbor to First
- Clinton from Harbor to First
- Lafayette from Harbor to First
- Howard from Harbor to Sand
The City of Grand Haven intends to return the show to July 4th in years to come.
