City Of Davis: Annual Fourth Of July City Festivities Canceled

Press release from the City Of Davis:

April 21, 2021 12:36 pm

The City of Davis announced today that the annual City Fourth of July festivities and fireworks at Community Park will not be held this year due to COVID-19 pandemic public health considerations. City staff has started to brainstorm alternative ways to commemorate Independence Day and any plans that are made will be promoted to the community.  

“The City regrets that we cannot hold this annual event loved by so many,” said Mayor Gloria Partida. “We have worked so hard as a community to combat COVID, and out of an abundance of caution, the best public health decision we can make at this time is to not host a large event.”

 “As we have learned over the last year, pandemic conditions can change quickly, and we must also look at the financial implications of waiting until the last minute to cancel this event,” said Vice Mayor Lucas Frerichs. “Primarily though, we must stay vigilant with COVID precautions and see them through to the end of the pandemic.”
