PSA: Iowa City fireworks times and reporting reminder

Rosie, speaking in a brief public announcement, reminded Iowa City residents that fireworks are allowed only during specific times around Independence Day — July 3 and 4, and the Saturday and Sunday before and after the holiday. Rosie said residents who see fireworks being used outside those hours can call to report it and should include an address if possible. The announcement noted the city will present fireworks at the Iowa City Jazz Festival, run by Summer of the Arts, and mentioned Coralville’s 4thFest as another nearby public display. The speaker suggested leaving fireworks to professionals and closed the message with a lighthearted personal note.
