Fireworks in August? Why not? Stillwater reschedules Fourth of July celebration for Saturday
It’s never too late to celebrate the Fourth of July.
Flooding on the St. Croix River forced Stillwater officials to postpone the city’s Fourth of July fireworks show, so city officials instead decided to hold the show at dusk on Saturday. Estimated start time is 9 p.m.
Spectators are asked to bring lawn chairs – and maybe a picnic basket – to either Lowell Park or Pioneer Park to watch the free fireworks display. RES Specialty Pyrotechnics, based in Belle Plaine, Minn., is producing the show.
In addition to the fireworks, spectators can watch a Civil War cannon salute in Lowell Park and listen to live music in Pioneer Park.
Civil War reenactors representing Battery I, 1st Regiment of the U.S. Artillery, a field artillery battery of the U.S. Army between 1821 and 1901, will be doing cannon-firing demonstrations at 3, 4, 5 and 7 p.m. at Mulberry Point in Lowell Park, 201 Water St.
The St. Croix Jazz Orchestra will be playing from 6-8 p.m. at Pioneer Park, 515 Second Street N.
