Eastern Shore cities plan July 4th activities

Posted

The City of Fairhope will host its annual Fourth of July Festival and Fireworks display again this year in Henry George Park and at the Fairhope Municipal Pier.

The Baldwin Pops Band Independence Day Concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Henry George Park.

A variety of patriotic music will be played before and during the fireworks display.

The Fairhope fireworks display, coordinated by the Fairhope Volunteer Fire Department, will begin at approximately 9 p.m.

The north end of Fairhope Municipal Park will be open throughout the day and will remain open until no parking is available.

The south end of the beachfront park and Knoll Park will be available to spectators.

Handicap parking will be available near the fountain, but will be limited.

Those who wish to park in the handicap area should arrive early and plan to stay until the fireworks are over.

WABF 1220 AM will broadcast the Baldwin Pops concert live for those who are not able to make it down to the festivities. Also, those who sit on the bayfront bluffs for the fireworks should bring their battery powered radio and tune it to WABF 1220 AM for better sound.

For more information on Fairhope’s Fourth of July Festival and Fireworks display call 929-1466.

Meanwhile, the city of Daphne plans to hold its Independence Day Celebration at Trione Park on Whispering Pines Road.

The city will host a fireworks show there at dusk, and organizers promise a larger display of pyrotechnics.

Spanish Fort plans no organized observance of Independence Day this year.
