Fourth of July Fireworks Coming Back to Matter Park

On Wed., July 3rd, 2019, the City of Mar­i­on will bring back fire­works in Mat­ter Park with live music and fes­tiv­i­ties for the whole fam­i­ly. The event will begin in and around the Gar­dens of Mat­ter Park at 5pm with a DJ, food and sweet-treat ven­dors, and a kids’ car­ni­val with inflat­able play space and yard games. At 7pm, Jessie Brown will kick off live music then join a larg­er group of artists mak­ing up the band, ​“When Coun­try Went Pop.” After they end around dusk, fire­works will end the night with a bang! They will be set off behind the ten­nis courts.

Mar­i­on Tran­sit will pro­vide free air-con­di­tioned shut­tle ser­vice from 5:30pm until after the fire­works. They will take patrons from the lot of the old Sears at Five Points Mall into the Gar­dens entrance.

“This event gives the com­mu­ni­ty a chance to enjoy the ameni­ties of Mat­ter Park while pro­vid­ing a gath­er­ing ground to spend time with fam­i­ly and friends for the ​‘4th of July’. This year promis­es to be even bet­ter with more music & enter­tain­ment, plus food and fire­works,” stat­ed May­or Jess Alumbaugh.

This is a free, fam­i­ly-friend­ly event pro­vid­ed by the City of Mar­i­on. Enjoy food & drinks from ven­dors or pack your own pic­nic. Bring a blan­ket or lawn chairs to com­fort­ably enjoy the night. Remem­ber, per­son­al fire­works includ­ing sparklers are not allowed in Mat­ter Park.
