Damboree officials announced yesterday, that due to a tragic explosion at a Chinese fireworks warehouse, this Friday’s fireworks show would be scaled back. This was necessary because the committee was notified this past weekend that their order could not be fulfilled. As a result, the committee also announced that entry into Veterans Memorial Park would be slashed from $20 to $10 per vehicle.
The Damboree Committee learned this weekend that their order, largely from Shanzhou Fireworks, was cancelled. “The entire Damboree Committee is deeply saddened by the lives lost in Central China,” said Damboree Chair Roger Hall. “Canceling the show would disappoint residents, especially children, so we worked with our vendor to get a smaller supply. The show will go on, but it will be noticeably shorter.” Entry for parking at Veterans Memorial Park will be reduced to $10 per vehicle (previously $20). “We believe residents will be sympathetic and still have a great Independence Day,” Hall said. “We’ll work to put on a bigger, better show for 2026.”
The Lions and Leos Club Fireworks stand is open at the Rebel Gas Station for safe and sane and LEGAL fireworks in Boulder City. This booth is a fundraiser for the groups who provide eyeglasses for the needy, among other philanthropic endeavors. You can find out more HERE.
