Council approves downtown Christmas fireworks permit after debate over optics and costs

A permit for a short fireworks display at the Killeen Municipal Annex on Dec. 4, 2026, was approved despite objections. Council members and citizens raised concerns about optics given a scheduled execution the day before and about use of public dollars; staff described the display as a 30'2'0'2 to 45-second cake-style show and said permitting carries no direct city cost.
