[ARCHIVED] Elk River Invites People to Safely Celebrate July Fourth with Fireworks this Saturday

Many residents have been forced to change their Independence Day traditions due to cancellations associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. In Elk River, the City Council made the difficult decision to cancel Elk RiverFest 2020, however the fireworks display will continue as planned this Saturday, July 4.

Fireworks will be launched from Elk River High School at dusk. Please be aware, the Elk River High School parking lot and Lion John Weicht Park and lot will not be available to park and view the show, as they are both currently under construction. When selecting a spot to view fireworks, ensure social distancing as directed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Stay home if you’re feeling ill, park or set up chairs a safe distance from others, use masks or other face coverings (even when outdoors), and wash hands when able and have hand sanitizer readily available.
