Visible for miles around, an estimated 80,000 spectators will view the Folds of Honor FreedomFest 2015 presented by QuikTrip Corporation from Veterans Park, and along the Arkansas River.
Staged from center of the Arkansas River, a myriad of colorful fireworks will be launched to heights of over 800 feet. In a blaze of light and sound, spectators will enjoy a carefully-orchestrated precision display reminiscent of the early battles of the American Revolution 238 years ago!
River Parks is undergoing construction in several areas, including the River West Festival Park. As a result, all entertainment and activities offered free to the public will take place at Veterans Park located at 18th and Boulder Avenue on the east side of the Arkansas River. The fireworks will remain staged from the 21st Street bridge.
