City of Lake Wales Considering $35K+ Fireworks for 4th of July Celebration

Date:

The City of Lake Wales will be celebrating the 4th of July in style if the City Commission approves a $35K+ fireworks display.

At their workshop session on Wed. Mar. 12, 2025, Lake Wales city commissioners reviewed the consent agenda for their next meeting.

One of the agenda items was for a proposed expenditure of $35,800 for a fireworks display for the city’s annual 4th of July Community Celebration.

For the past three years, the city’s community fireworks display has been performed by Pyrotechnico, which the City had entered into a piggyback agreement on June 20, 2023.

Since then, Pyrotechnico has done a superb job with its fireworks displays. Stephanie Lutton, Parks and Recreation Director, wrote in the agenda item that city staff “has received multiple positive comments from the community regarding their work.”

If approved, the fireworks display will be hosted at the city’s 4th of July Celebration at Lake Wailes Park on Fri., July 4, 2025. The show is expected to be 20 to 22 minutes long with a two-minute grand finale.

Deputy Mayor Robin Gibson asked if this year’s fireworks display will be bigger and better than last year’s. Lutton confirmed, according to the workshop’s minutes, that “more has been added.”
