Lights of Liberty Fireworks Show Scheduled for Saturday, October 18
The City of Redding announces a new date for the annual fireworks show originally planned for July 4th. The full show and related activities will be held on Saturday, October 18 at the Redding Convention Center. This year's show will pay special tribute to veterans and those currently serving in the armed services. Pre-show activities will include food booths and local entertainers. A more detailed schedule will follow.
A few benefits of the new date are an earlier fireworks show - 8:30 p.m. rather than 10 p.m., cooler weather, and no smoke.
