Tupelo's July 4th Fireworks Celebration will go on, but with a few changes for public safety.

Tupelo's annual All-American Family Picnic in the Park fireworks show will be different this year.

It will be a fireworks show only; fireworks will be launched from behind Tupelo's City Hall.

July fourth, and tupelo city leaders are preparing for the annual all- american family picnic in the park fireworks show.

However, this year, the celebration will be different.

Wtva's bronson woodruff joins us live with what people can expect this year.

Right now, i'm in tupelo's fairview park.

Behind me here is tupelo city hall, where this year, people will get to see the annual july 4th fireworks spectacular.

Workers will launch fireworks from behind tupelo city hall.

The city is cancelling the music and other festivities because of social distancing concerns.

Tupelo parks and rec director alex farned says people will still be able to see the fireworks from a good distance away.

He says people should stay in their cars for the show.

If some do get out, however, he asks they practice six feet social distancing.

"instead of getting rid of the event altogether, we really wanted to bring to all of the citizens of tupelo and the surrounding area that they will be able to see some fireworks, and you know, they can come out and do that if they do the proper social distancing."

The show is scheduled to start at 9pm on saturday, july fourth at tupelo city hall.
