4th of July River of Fire and Cool Desert Nights Events No Longer?
Two major Tri-city events need a new partner for 2018!
Fireworks Light Up Skies Over NYC On Fourth Of July
The chamber of commerce voted to drop the events because they don't align with its mission, which is to support businesses.
Cool Desert Nights has been a staple for years and River of Fire for 30+. Both events take a huge amount of man-power and volunteers, plus the expense adds to the problem.
We want to thank the Tri-City Regional Chamber of Commerce for the many years of commitment to these events. Most likely another company/organization will step up and take them over and we'll see the show over the river.
