City of Tupelo prepares for 4th of July celebrations.

“From City of Tupelo’s Mayor Facebook page”

The City of Tupelo Parks and Recreation Department invites you to celebrate our nation’s birthday, Monday, July 4, beginning at 3:30 p.m. and continuing until the fireworks explode over the All-America City at 9 p.m.

Some reminders:
• Bring cash for armbands for inflatables $10 and some food and treat vendors
• Plan ahead. Traffic will be heavy at times, especially after the event. Be safe and courteous.
• Think twice about bringing pets. Fireworks can cause pets anxiety, even when they are secured.
• Tell young children to look for a firefighter, security officer, or go to the main stage if they are separated from their parents. We are providing a safe place for lost children to wait.
