Vail, Beaver Creek, Other Eagle County Communities Cancel Independence Day Celebration Fireworks
VAIL, Colo. (CBS4)- The Towns of Vail, Eagle, Gypsum, Beaver Creek and other Eagle County communities have decided to cancel their professional fireworks display during the Independence Day celebration.
The decision was announced on Wednesday due to the fire restrictions in Eagle County, which move to Stage 2 on Friday.
The Sylvan Fire continues to grow in the White River National Forest, which has forced some closures in the forest and evacuations for some Eagle County residents.
Even with the cancellation of the fireworks show, the other planned activities for the Independence Day Celebration will go on as planned.
