HEALDSBURG, CA - Due to current fire weather conditions in the region, we have made the difficult decision not to move forward with the fireworks show scheduled for the evening of the 4th. With a red flag warning in place for parts of Sonoma County and multiple active fire incidents in the region, we have concluded that we can’t proceed with sufficient confidence that the safety of the community will be protected. There are several new and growing wildfires burning in Northern California that are requiring the support of regional resources. That means that those resources may not be available if an incident were to occur locally. Looking at the totality of the conditions, we believe this is the best course of action for Healdsburg. We know this may be disappointing to some, but the safety of our community is our top priority. As a reminder, all fireworks are prohibited in the City of Healdsburg. Healdsburg Police and Fire are upstaffing their departments with additional coverage and conducting extra patrols to ensure the safety of our community. Don’t forget, there are other great opportunities to celebrate the 4th of July, including the Kids Parade and Duck Dash on the Plaza from 10:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. the annual pancake breakfast at the Villa from 7:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. and the Prune Packers baseball game at 6:00 p.m. at Rec Park! The City of Healdsburg wishes you a happy, safe and wonderful 4th of July! ###
