Fishers residents planning to watch fireworks on July 4 should take note of an update from Fishers Parks.
The city says the previously listed viewing location at Hamilton Southeastern High School has been changed. Instead, residents looking to view the east-side fireworks display from their vehicles should use designated parking lots along Olio Road.
Fishers Parks will again offer three fireworks shows throughout the community on Independence Day, coming one week after the annual Spark Fishers festival.
In the Nickel Plate District, residents may gather at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, 6 Municipal Drive, where fireworks will be launched from nearby Holland Park. The park itself will be closed for safety reasons.
Primary viewing will be on the lawn at the NPD AMP. A free concert by GrooveSmash is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m., with fireworks to follow at approximately 10 p.m. No tickets or RSVP are required. Outside food and non-alcoholic beverages are allowed, and food trucks will also be on site. Outside alcohol is not permitted. Those attending should bring their own lawn chairs or blankets, as seating will not be provided.
For the Olio Road viewing area, Fishers Parks says residents may watch from their vehicles at three parking lots: Grace Church, 12450 Olio Road; Fall Creek Intermediate School, 12011 Olio Road; and Fall Creek Elementary School, 12131 Olio Road.
A third fireworks show will be available for viewing on Geist Reservoir. Fishers Parks says no viewing will be permitted from the Fall Creek Bridge or Geist Marina. Those wishing to watch from Geist should do so from a boat on the water or from a nearby residence.
Fireworks for the Geist show will be launched near the south end of Fall Creek Bridge from a barge at Geist Marina. The bridge will remain open to traffic, but the pedestrian walkway on the bridge will be closed for safety.
Fishers Parks says all three fireworks displays are scheduled to begin at dusk, approximately 10 p.m.
