PLEASE NOTE: Because of recent development around the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, the fireworks will be shot from the baseball field, which will limit visibility from outside the stadium.  The best visibility of the fireworks will be inside the ballpark.  Outside the park there will be a limited viewing area near the northwest corner of the stadium on Blackwell Street.  Gates will open for free admission prior to the fireworks display as space is available.  

This event is brought to you by the City of Durham Parks and Recreation Department, Light Up Durham and the Durham Bulls.  For more information, call the Durham Parks and Recreation Department at (919) 560-4355 or visit www.durhamnc.gov.
