COUNTY News:
The 4th of July is right around the corner and Los Alamos County is gearing up for the big event! The 4th of July Spectacular will be held 4-10 p.m. Thursday, July 4th at Overlook Park in White Rock.
The entertainment begins with the Los Alamos Community Winds, which has been a staple at 4th of July events and feature many of the area’s best classically trained musicians.
Then DJ Optamystic will fill the rest of the afternoon with music. Headliner Prince Again will take the stage at 7 p.m. to bring the house down and get attendees dancing and singing to their favorite songs in the huge open space at Overlook Park.
Beginning at 9 p.m. the 4th of July Spectacular will launch the newest attraction of the event, a drone show provided by Sky Elements, followed by a fireworks display provided by the Los Alamos Kiwanis Club, which will conclude the event at 9:30 p.m.
An important item to note for this year’s 4th of July Spectacular Event is that due to field renovations being conducted in Overlook Park, and the heavy equipment required for the project, parking within the Park will be limited to only Handicapped, Vendors and Staff. All other event attendees will be required to walk or ride the Atomic City Transit bus into Overlook Park.
As always, Atomic City Transit will run 3-10 p.m. in support of this event. Pick-up locations are Pinon Elementary School and White Rock Visitor Center in White Rock and the Lemon Lot in Los Alamos.
