All American 4th Fireworks

July 4, 2020, 9:30 PM - 10:00 PM @ In the skies over Plano

The City of Plano is happy to announce a fireworks display for the July 4th Independence Day holiday. To keep this annual tradition alive, it took a partnership with a local landowner and a few necessary changes. The fireworks will launch from the Lavon Farms near the Plano Event Center, which is located at higher ground from where the display is usually launched at Oak Point Park & Nature Preserve. There will be ample viewing options. We’re encouraging people to view the fireworks from their own homes, vehicles or neighborhoods. The fireworks will also be live streamed on the city's Facebook page. Due to the circumstances, we will only present a fireworks show with no vendors, activities, etc. As always, the display will be set to music on radio station KLAK. Thank you to Lavon Farms LUCKY LAYLA FARMS whose partnership makes this fireworks display possible. Simulcast will be available on 97.5 KLAK. Please see the posted Viewing Area Map.
