July 4th Celebration in Kingston to Run 10 AM - 10 PM

Submitted by onetahiti on July 4, 2012 - 5:05am.

For more information, see: Link..., or see the schedule of events on the Kingston Parks and Recreation web site. The fireworks show is at dusk on the river.

Please consider attending a public fireworks display instead of setting off fireworks yourself. Even with the recent rain, the county's woods are full of excess fuel in this drought. Our dry weather does not help the fire danger situation. Even sparklers can reach 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, hot enough to melt many metals.

West Roane County VFD has a free fireworks safety brochure (PDF format, 685KB). See also the U.S. Fire Administration's Fireworks Safety page.

Also, Local 8 TV has a list of Knoxville-area public fireworks displays.
