GREEN BAY (NBC 26) -- Green Bay organizers announced Friday that its downtown 4th of July celebration has been canceled due to concerns regarding coronavirus.
The Festival Foods’ Fire over the Fox, a daylong celebration that culminates with a fireworks show over the Fox River, will not take place this year.
“We are living in a time that will simply not permit the execution of large-scale community events,” said Brian Johnson, Executive Director, On Broadway, Inc., organizer of the event. “We worked with the City of Green Bay to explore alternatives that would allow for a socially distanced or drive-in fireworks show but unfortunately we were unable to identify an option that could secure approval at this time in light of public health concerns. We’ll continue to work with the city and our title sponsor Festival Foods to determine if a safe option can be hosted later in the year.”
