Martinsville City Park reschedules concert and fireworks to July 24 after storm canceled July 4 evening program
Summary
After thunderstorms delayed the July 4 evening concert and fireworks, park staff announced the concert and fireworks will be held July 24; daytime pool activities had taken place and the splash pad was functioning after a pump repair.
Ashley, the park’s superintendent of facilities, told the board that daytime July 4 activities were completed but thunderstorms delayed the 7 p.m. concert and forced cancellation of the evening concert and fireworks. The board rescheduled the evening music and fireworks for Friday, July 24. Ashley said several food trucks cannot return but a handful will attend and the pool will remain open; food trucks are expected to arrive in late afternoon.
Ashley confirmed the splash pad’s pump had been replaced and the splash pad would remain open through Labor Day if it continues to function properly. She said 45 children completed the first round of swim lessons and that the pool is scheduled to close on Aug. 2.
Next steps: Staff will proceed with July 24 planning and post updated information about vendors and schedule; the board will receive any budget or staffing impacts if they arise.
