Westlake 4th Of July Fireworks 2020 Canceled

WESTLAKE, OH — July 4 events across the country will not look the same this year thanks to the coronavirus. Many cities and towns have been forced to cancel the annual Fourth of July events, including Westlake.

Although Westlake's fireworks and parade have been postponed, residents are being encouraged to celebrate the holiday by displaying American flags on their property. Residents should also decorate their lawns using red, white and blue colors, if possible.

A Westlake official told Patch the city may try to do a fireworks display in September.

Due to the pandemic, counties or cities may adjust or cancel events at the last minute. Check your event before you go. Know of other events in the area? Post them on the Patch calendar or share details on our free Neighbor Post feature.
