COUNTY News:
The 4th of July is this Thursday and Los Alamos County is ready for the event! The 4th of July Spectacular will be held 4-10 p.m. at Overlook Park in White Rock.
The day of entertainment begins at 4 p.m. with the Los Alamos Community Winds, who have been a staple of the 4th of July and feature many of the area’s best classically trained musicians. Then, the afternoon gets going with music from DJ Optamystic.
Headliner Prince Again will take the stage at 7:20 p.m. to bring the house down and get the event attendees dancing and singing to their favorite songs in the huge open space of Overlook Park in White Rock.
Beginning at 9 p.m., the 4th of July Spectacular will launch the newest attraction of the event, a drone show provided by Sky Elements, followed by a fireworks display provided by the Kiwanis Club of Los Alamos, which will conclude the event at 9:30 p.m.
An important item to note for this year’s 4th of July Spectacular Event is that due to field renovations being conducted in Overlook Park, and the heavy equipment required for the project, parking within the Park will be limited to only Handicapped, Vendors and Staff.
All other event attendees will be required to walk or ride the Atomic City Transit bus into Overlook Park.
As always the Atomic City Transit will be running in support of this event from 3-10 p.m. Pick-up locations are Pinon Elementary School and the White Rock Visitor Center in White Rock and the Lemon Lot in Los Alamos. Additionally, Sullivan Field parking lot will be available for event attendees to park in order to take the shuttle.
