Columbia Parks and Recreation planning fireworks test

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Columbia Parks and Recreation is exploring potential sites for the 2022 Fire in the Sky 4th of July fireworks display.

Officials will hold a fireworks test on Monday around 8 p.m. at Stephens Lake Park as a potential event location.

The eastern portion of the park will be closed to the public while the testing is going on and Parks and Recreation staff will be positioned throughout the park and downtown area to report the visibility of the fireworks from different locations.

Signs will be posted in the area and on-site staff will monitor the park to ensure safety. The area will be closed for about 30 minutes.

Staff will be working with the City's fireworks contractor to conduct the test.
