City of Fruita's 3rd of July Fireworks Show Presented by Canvas Credit Union
FRUITA, CO – On Monday, July 3, 2023, the community can enjoy the City of Fruita’s annual fireworks show presented by Canvas Credit Union! The show can be seen from almost anywhere in Fruita and will start at dusk.
A few popular public viewing areas include Rotary Park and the Fruita Visitor Center. This year, the fireworks will be launched at the James M. Robb State Park instead of the usual launch location of Snooks Bottom Open Space. Working with the Lower Valley Fire District and Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the City of Fruita has decided to change the location of the show to provide the safest possible launch site. Safety is the top priority for the community, and the City of Fruita wants to ensure everyone can enjoy the annual fireworks show while working closely with partners to take every step necessary to ensure a safe, enjoyable show.
Parking will be limited at the James M. Robb State Park, and visitors should plan accordingly. In addition, Snooks Bottom Open Space will remain closed to the public for the entire day of July 3 for safety.
The City of Fruita wants to remind the community to expect high traffic volume during and after the event. Highway 340 will be closed going southbound towards the Colorado National Monument. Traffic will be guided towards the I-70 Frontage Road, I-70 Highway, and Aspen Avenue. People can expect high traffic volume coming from the James M. Robb State Park entrance, Jurassic Avenue, and Raptor Road.
The community is encouraged to enjoy the professional firework show and to refrain from using personal fireworks to help with fire safety precautions.
