Fourth of July in Healdsburg: Fireworks, Kids Parade, Duck Dash
Here’s the plan for the Fourth of July fireworks show in town next Thursday, courtesy of Healdsburg City Manager Jeff Kay:. “This year’s display promises to be bigger and brighter than ever before! To ensure everyone’s safety, viewing at the High School sports fields will be unavailable. However, you can still catch the spectacular fireworks from the west side of the Healdsburg High School in the parking lot area, or from various vantage points around town. With most fireworks reaching heights of 200 feet and beyond, find a spot with a clear view of the night sky above the High School.”
