The City of Columbia Parks and Recreation Department is proceeding with the Fire in the Sky event and fireworks show this evening.
Staff had been monitoring the weather forecast and consulting with local emergency management officials during the week, in case of inclement weather during the event.
Activities, entertainment, and food trucks are scheduled to kick off at 6:30 p.m. at Stephens Lake Park, capped off with a fireworks show at around 9:15 p.m. set to music simulcast on KBXR 102.3.
Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or bag chairs to the park, as the ground is saturated and not conducive to blanket seating.
The City is working with Boone Hospital to provide parking access for Fire in the Sky visitors. Many of the hospital’s parking lots will be available for public use for the event. The Columbia Police Department will be providing traffic assistance.
Go COMO transit will provide complimentary shuttle service between all six City parking garages and a drop-off point on East Walnut Street near Stephens Lake Park. This free shuttle service will run continuously from 5 to 11 p.m., moving event-goers between the garages and the celebration. Riders can track the locations of shuttles in real-time using the DoubleMap app.
Should weather conditions change over the course of the day and evening, any updates will be posted to the Parks and Recreation hotline at 573-874-7663.
