A presenter at Lance Park announced that the city of Mission will sponsor a fireworks show as part of Fourth of July festivities marking the nation’s 250th birthday.
“This is our first time in a very long time that Mission has actually sponsored fireworks,” the presenter said, describing the evening as a special celebration and anticipating a strong display.
The remarks, delivered shortly after the event opened, emphasized family-friendly activities available at the park — food, games and a splash pad — and noted a large community turnout. “It’s been a great afternoon. It’s just amazing to see so many people here this afternoon,” the presenter said.
The presenter offered brief patriotic remarks and a safety reminder: “May God bless our community, may God bless our troops, and may God bless this great city we live in. Stay safe this weekend. Have a wonderful Fourth of July with friends, family, and our community.”
No additional details on the fireworks’ funding source, vendor, start time or permitting were provided in the speaker’s comments. The presenter indicated only that a fireworks show was planned for the evening and framed the event as a community celebration.
The event took place at Lance Park and centered on community activities and the evening fireworks display sponsored by Mission.
