LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — An explosion at a fireworks manufacturing unit in China is having a direct influence on one among Southern Nevada’s Independence Day occasions.
The Damboree Committee introduced late modifications to this 12 months’s celebration after studying their fireworks order — equipped by Shanzhou Fireworks — had been canceled. The information comes after a lethal blast on the firm’s facility in China’s Hunan Province killed 9 folks and injured 26 others.
“The entire Damboree Committee is deeply saddened by the lives lost in Central China,” Damboree Chair Roger Corridor mentioned. “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.”
To make up for the smaller present, organizers are reducing the car entry charge to $10, down from $20, for these attending the night festivities at Veterans Memorial Park.
The occasion runs from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., with meals, music, and a fireworks present scheduled for 9 p.m. No private fireworks are allowed within the park.
Different Damboree occasions embrace:
Rotary Membership Pancake Breakfast from 7 to 9 a.m. at Bicentennial Park
Damboree Parade at 9 a.m., beginning at Colorado & Nevada Approach and ending at Broadbent Park
Children Coin Toss on the pool at 11 a.m.
Garden video games and actions for kids beginning at 12 p.m. at Broadbent Park
Non-profits promoting meals, drinks, and beer after the parade
“We believe residents will be sympathetic and still have a great Independence Day,” Corridor mentioned. “We’ll work to put on a bigger, better show for 2026.”
