A Millington tradition and known as one of the ‘best’ firework shows in the Mid-South returns this Tuesday.
Celebrate the spirit of community and the thrill of fireworks at the City of Millington Parks and Recreation Department’s annual fireworks display Flag City Freedom Celebration on July 2. Gates open at 6 p.m., with fireworks beginning at sundown (9:05-9:15 range). Parking will be $5 per vehicle. Enjoy an evening filled with music by Sherry Oke, food and beverage concessions (available for purchase), and a kid zone with inflatables.
Entry will be located at Jack Huffman and Newport. Bring your picnic basket, blankets, and lawn chairs and join us for an evening of community celebration and a breathtaking fireworks display. To ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment, please note that no tents, pets, personal fireworks, grills, campfires, soliciting, or political campaigning will be allowed.
