(BEDFORD) – The July 4th fireworks will be launched from Wilson Park this year.

The fireworks display is expected to take place shortly after dusk.
Bedford Mayor Sam Craig says the city and residents look forward to this event every year. With the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic he hopes this spectacle will give residents something to enjoy.
Mayor Craig would like to thank the many businesses and individuals who have donated funds to make this year’s fireworks possible. No tax money will be used to fund the fireworks display.
Many Bedford residents have great memories of the fireworks being held at this location in past years. There will be no food vendors, carnival rides, or other festivities that normally accompany the celebrations in the past due to CDC recommendations.
