The 2024 fireworks display is scheduled for 10 p.m., Wednesday, July 3. Due to rainy weather and excessive water, the location of the fireworks show has been impacted, with water pooling in grassy areas of the airport, creating more problems. The launch area near Christensen Fieldhouse will be the new location for the fireworks show this year. The Fremont Municipal Airport runway has been closed due to a rehabilitation project, causing delays and changes in the setup for the fireworks display.
Ron Vlach, a local military veteran and business owner, has been coordinating the Fremont Fireworks Show for 21 years. Despite the challenges posed by the weather, Vlach and his team of pyrotechnical planners are working hard to ensure that the show goes off as planned. They are closely monitoring the rain and are prepared to make a decision on whether to cancel the display if necessary. Unfortunately, if the Wednesday night display is cancelled, it cannot be rescheduled for Thursday due to scheduling conflicts with the fireworks company.
The airport construction project has faced delays due to the weather, causing the launching area to be reduced by 50%. Despite these setbacks, Vlach is determined to deliver a spectacular fireworks show that the community expects and enjoys every year. While Vlach acknowledges the challenges posed by the weather, he remains committed to putting on a show that celebrates patriotism and love for the United States of America.
In addition to Fremont's fireworks display, other area communities are also hosting fireworks shows on Wednesday, July 3. The Oakland City Park in Oakland and the island in the middle of Westshores in Waterloo will also have fireworks shows at 10 p.m. These displays are part of the Independence Day celebrations that bring communities together to enjoy the spectacle of fireworks lighting up the night sky. Despite the weather challenges, the spirit of Independence Day will shine through in these celebrations.
