ONEOK Freedomfest 2011 Offers Safe Alternative For Fireworks
The Fourth of July is near and while fireworks are being sold
throughout the metropolitan area, the City of Tulsa's ordinances
prohibit the use of fireworks within its corporate
boundaries.
The pre-set fine for fireworks violations is $220, but fines of
up to $500 can be imposed.
An alternative to do-it-yourself fireworks is Tulsa's largest
fireworks display on Monday, July 4 near the 21st Street bridge on
the Arkansas River. The Tulsa River Parks Authority and principle
sponsor ONEOK will present ONEOK Freedomfest 2011, which includes
the fireworks display starting at 9:35 p.m. over the Arkansas
River.
More fires are reported on July 4 than on any other day of the
year. Avoid accidents and injuries by celebrating this holiday
watching one of the largest fireworks displays at River Parks.
Prior to the fireworks display, parents can take their kids to the
free Kids Zone at River West Festival Park for face-painting,
rock-climbing, and inflatable's while enjoying food and drinks from
great local vendors.
