The council adopted a resolution supporting the Spring Ho festival, approved up to $7,500 in 'hot funds' for marketing and advertising, and approved a fireworks display planned for July 9, 2025.
The Lampasas City Council adopted a resolution supporting the Spring Ho festival scheduled for July 7–13, 2025, approved hot‑funds up to $7,500 for marketing and advertising, and granted a permit for a fireworks display to be held July 9 at Gavin Garrett Soccer Field.
Councilmembers noted the Spring Ho Committee’s requests and approved a resolution reserving public facilities and streets for festival activities. The council then approved a hot‑funds request of up to $7,500 to assist with brochures, advertising, and promotional costs. Council also approved Pyrotechnico Fireworks Incorporated to conduct the July 9 display; staff said the company has been the city’s vendor for seven years, fees had been paid, the fire marshal had vetted the plan and state permit requests would be filed.
Council confirmed fire and police coverage would be provided during the display and that streets and parking closures for festival events would be managed by public safety staff. The motions passed by voice vote.
