Come Rain, Shine or Fire Ban, the Show Goes On in Snowmass this July 4th Weekend
Here is the latest press release from Snowmass:
(Snowmass Village, CO) If you’re disappointed about the fire bans that are cancelling fireworks displays all over the state of Colorado, Snowmass Village offers the ideal destination to ensure a brilliantly lit July 4th weekend.
“It always dampens that 4th of July spirit when fireworks are cancelled,” says Susan Hamley, marketing director for Snowmass Village, “so we wanted both to complement Aspen’s fabulous July 4th fireworks as well as plan a unique and brilliant alternative to the possibility of a fire ban on Saturday, July 1. This laser show is going to light up the valley in a way no one’s ever seen.”
Organizers have been working on this 27-minute laser light show set to music for months with renowned pyrotechnics producer Jeff Silverman, who has created shows for venues ranging from the Bellagio in Las Vegas to Royal Caribbean Cruise Line’s largest ship. Silverman has customized this state-of-the art light program as a dazzling finale to an incredible evening of music, illumination, and patriotic spirit.
Come rain, shine, or fire ban, Snowmass’s Independence Day celebration on July 1 will go on no matter what. The day is filled with activities ranging from free guided nature hikes to a zipline to family fun with Jammin' Jim on the Snowmass Village Mall. The show starts at 7 p.m. with a free concert by the renowned Blind Boys of Alabama on Fanny Hill. This acclaimed gospel group that has been performing for 60 years, has won a Grammy every year since 2002 and was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2002.
Following the concert at 9 p.m. is the laser light show which promises all the brilliance of a festive fireworks display without the deafening booms or fire risks.
