Celebrate the 234th birthday of the nation by watching an Independence Day fireworks display in Port Aransas.

Residents and visitors are invited to watch the fireworks display on Sunday, July 4.

The city, in conjunction with Charles Butt of San Antonio and Port Aransas and the Lydia Ann Lighthouse, will present the show starting at “dark-thirty,” or about 9 p.m.

The same company that has produced the show for the past several years, Zambelli Fireworks Internationale of Pennsylvania, will present about 45 minutes of fireworks.

The fireworks will be ignited from the Corpus Christi Ship Channel side of Roberts Point Park. Spectators may view the display from the park, but will be kept away from the ignition site.

The fireworks should be visible from just about anywhere in Port Aransas.

City officials remind the public that law prohibits shooting fireworks in the city limits of Port Aransas. Shooting fireworks also is prohibited in the City of Corpus Christi, the city limits of which abut the city limits of Port Aransas. Typically, law enforcement officers confiscate fireworks from violators.
