Fireworks display set for Independence Day

P ort Aransas residents and visitors are treated to a fabulous fireworks

display each Independence

Day.

The city, in conjunction with Charles Butt of H-EB Food Stores, presents the show starting at "darkthirty," or about 9 p.m.

The same company that has produced the show for the past several years, Zambelli Fireworks Internationale of Pennsylvania, will present about 45 minutes of fireworks.

The fireworks are initiated from the Corpus Christi Ship Channel side of Roberts Point Park. Spectators may view the display from the park, but will be kept away from the site where they are ignited. The fireworks are visible from just about anywhere in Port Aransas.

City officials remind the public that law prohibits fireworks in the city limits of Port Aransas. Fireworks are also prohibited in the city limits of Corpus Christi which abut the city limits of Port Aransas. Typically, law enforcement officers confiscate fireworks from violators.
