Changes to Ft Leonard Wood July 4th fireworks show
COVID-19 cases are continuing to rise in Missouri and so Fort Leonard Wood’s Independence Day Celebration will only feature a fireworks show this year.
Sunday night’s fireworks show begins on the base at 9:30 pm. All other events and activities that were previously scheduled, including the car show, the Interactive Zone and the concert featuring Parmalee and Thompson Square, have been canceled.
FMWR is working to schedule another concert at a later date. The Garrison Commander said The Fort continues to adapt and respond to the Covid-19 situation across the state.
Attendees are encouraged to practice social distancing and those who are not vaccinated are still required to wear a mask while on Fort Leonard Wood.
