Patriotic Evening Fireworks in Inverness July 3rd

There will not be an accompanying festival with vendors or entertainment as in recent years, due to the parks being closed.

Please leave the RVs and oversized vehicles at home.

No alcohol, coolers, canopies, pop-up tents, personal fireworks, bbq grilling, or pets allowed. Please be respectful of private property and public spaces when finding your viewing spot.

Patriotic Evening will return to a more normal situation with a bang in 2020!
