Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance has big plans for this year’s Fourth of July festival in downtown Harrisonburg, including a better fireworks finale made possible by Sustainable Solutions, Jack Brown’s Beer & Burger Joint and Clementine Café. The fireworks show will begin at approximately 9:15pm from Westover Park.
“The hillside at Westover Park is a new and better launch site,” says Jeremiah Jenkins, HDR’s event coordinator. “This location offers the community more viewing options, and gives us the ability to reschedule the show in case of inclement weather.”
The following locations are recommended for safe viewing:
- Food Maxx International Market, 924 W. Market St.
- JMU Memorial Hall Parking Lots, 395 S. High St.
- Thomas Harrison Middle School, 1311 W. Market St.
- Turner Pavilion & Park, 228 S. Liberty St.
- Westside Baptist Church, 715 W. Wolfe St.
The rain date for the fireworks show is set for July 6, 2017. Updates will be made on Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance’s website and social media pages.
In addition to fireworks, the community is invited to enjoy a full day of Valley Fourth festivities.
