Tempe Celebration of Sparklers
Tempe Town Lake Festival fireworks are canceled this year, but the celebration of our nation goes on. The Tempe Kiwanis Club is providing sparklers to residents for an at-home July 4th celebration. Volunteers are bundling 70,000 sparkler packages and delivering them to Tempe residents leading up to the celebration. Each household will receive two sparklers, a small American Flag and a card of instructions. At 9 p.m. on July 4, residents are being asked to step outside their homes and light their sparklers as a show of unity.
Tune in to Arizona PBS for an all-star musical tribute featuring performances throughout the country, including Washington, D.C, New York, Nashville, Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
