The Memorial Day fireworks will be the first of three fireworks displays Visit Hot Springs will sponsor this year. The second will be Thursday, July 4 (rain date Friday, July 5). The Labor Day fireworks display will be held Sunday, September 1 (rain date Monday, September 2).
Those who want to watch the Memorial Day display from the water are urged to keep a safe distance from the fireworks launching area and keep watch for fellow boaters. For more information call Steve Arrison at 501-321-2027.
