Northfield July 4th Fireworks, Parade, More: 2018 Guide

NORTHFIELD, MN — Northfield's July 4 firework display will be launched from the kickball diamond at Northfield Middle School (2200 Division St S). It will be safe to watch the fireworks from the grassy areas as well as Bridgewater Elementary and Taylor Park.

North Morristown will host a parade starting at 10 a.m. July 4.

If you purchase your own fireworks this year, Minnesota authorities remind you that:

• If it flies or explodes, it's illegal in Minnesota. You could face fines and confiscation of illegal fireworks.
• Use fireworks in an open area away from houses and other structures.
• Don't let children run through the area. They could step on a spent firework that is still hot.
• Use fireworks responsibly, especially around children. Kids mimic your behavior.
• Use a long lighter meant for a gas grill to light fireworks and stay as far from the wick as possible.
• Do not try to re-light a dud. Ever.
• Have a bucket of water nearby; spent sparklers must go into the bucket, not dropped in the grass
