The smell of barbeque is already in the air as we quickly approach Independence Day this weekend. Joining the community in celebrating the holiday, the Greeley Stampede will continue the traditional fireworks show. With the help of sponsors and community members, this year’s show will be bigger and brighter!
To enjoy the fireworks show, the Greeley Stampede is asking community members to watch from a distance. “We want everyone to stay safe and healthy as they enjoy the holiday & the fireworks,” commented Justin Watada, Greeley Stampede General Manager. “The fireworks are visible from at least 10 miles from the park, so there is plenty of space around the Greeley-area to watch the fireworks from.” There will be no organized activities or amenities in the park this year. If people do choose to come to Island Grove Park, they are encouraged to practice social distancing between groups and follow the City of Greeley’s park rules. The fireworks are scheduled to begin at 9:30pm, July 4th (weather dependent) and will go for approximately 20 minutes.
Adding to the at-home experience of watching the fireworks, country music station and Greeley Stampede sponsor, BIG 97.9 will have a customized soundtrack to go with the show. “We have worked with the fireworks crew to sync the music to the show,” said Shawn Patrick, Big 97.9 Afternoon Show Host. “Having the music playing in the background really adds something special to the fireworks and brings the show to another level.” To listen to the custom soundtrack, tune into Big 97.9 on the radio or on the iHeart app before the show starts.
In addition to the customized soundtrack, 9News will be livestreaming the fireworks for those that are unable to make it to Greeley or prefer to watch the show from the comfort of their home. The livestream will be available on the 9News Facebook page as well as their YouTube Channel, 9News.com and apps.
The Greeley Stampede would like to thank all of the sponsors and community members that helped make this year’s fireworks show possible.
