Phoenix brings back Fourth of July fireworks for 2023: Here's where and when
The explosions of light and color that celebrate our nation's independence will return to Steele Indian School Park after a three-year gap.
Fabulous Phoenix 4th will be back for 2023, marking the annual fireworks display's first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020, according to the Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department.
"I am thrilled to welcome the return of Fabulous Phoenix 4th fireworks show to our city," Phoenix District 4 Councilwoman Laura Pastor said in a statement. “This event has long been a source of joy and celebration for our community, and I am proud to be part of its revival."
The event was canceled in 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic, while supply chain issues prevented it from going forward in 2022.
