Fourth of July in Corona

As we approach the Fourth of July holiday I am praying that the state of California will have a fire safe holiday.  The city of Corona has banned all fireworks within the city but I am not sure that all the citizens will honor the ban.  There always seems to be that individual that thinks laws are made for everyone else but themselves.  The city is trying to get the word out that the possession and use of all fireworks by private citizens is illegal in the City of Corona. This includes fireworks which are called “safe and sane”, such as sparklers,party poppers, snappers, firecrackers and spinners.  Included in the ban are the hazardous and dangerous fireworks such as cherry bombs, M-80's and firecrackers, to name a few.  It is illegal to purchase fireworks in another city and to transport them into Corona. With the fire danger so high this year I am sure a few of use will have an uneasy night.  So how does one enjoy the holiday?  The city is planning a day of activities with the celebration beginning  with the Main Street Independence Day Parade at 10 AM on Main Street from Ontario to Olive Streets. The Festival will begin at 4 PM at Santana Park (598 Santana Way) with the Fireworks show and program to begin around 8 PM.   Be safe and spread the word!
