MERIDIAN -

Food trucks, live music, and a professional fireworks display will highlight the City of Meridian’s annual Fourth of July Celebration which will take place Friday, July 4, from 4:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., in Storey Park, located at 205 E. Franklin Road.

The food trucks Bistro Babe, Coned, Daisy’s Italian Ice & Gelati, The Hood Culinary, Slay the Snow, SoMe Acai, and Tacos Y Tortas El Paco will be on site beginning at 4:00 pm. Kettle corn will be available, as well.

Live music will be provided by Poverty Flats beginning at 6:00 pm and Guilty Pleasure beginning at 8:00 pm. The evening will culminate in a professional fireworks display shortly after dark, at approximately 10:20 p.m., made possible through a collaboration with Meridian Speedway. Attendees are encouraged to bring folding chairs, lawn blankets, picnic items and lawn games, but no personal fireworks are allowed in the park.   

The professional fireworks display will be set off from the back (east side) of Meridian Speedway. Park roadways in that area will be closed to accommodate the fireworks safety zone and Storey Bark Park will close thirty minutes before dark on that evening. The limited parking within Storey Park will be reserved for ADA parking with use on a first-come first-served basis. There will be a passenger drop-off zone just inside the park’s Franklin Road entrance.
