Thank you to the following businesses for donating to our July 4th Fireworks Campaign. We appreciate you and your support of our annual tradition.
Our July 4th Fireworks Donation Campaign is in full swing!! This year, if you donate $500 or more, we will save you a parking spot at City Hall. One of the most coveted places to view the fireworks, Chad A. Fuqua Memorial Parks’ parking spaces fill up quickly. For our Rocket-level donors, or those donating at least $1,000, we will reserve your space at the park, or you may opt to watch the fireworks up close on the “hill.” To reserve parking, donations must be received by June 28th. We look forward to seeing you on July 4th and celebrating our 70th Annual Fireworks Display.

It is hard to believe that in just 30 days, July 4th will be here. One of the most exciting and busiest days in downtown Hollister, the City looks forward to celebrating our 70th Annual Fireworks Show this year. With the help of our community last year, we were able to purchase the fireworks for this year’s show with donations only for the very first time. Our 1,000-shell show is just shy of $13,000, and our hope is to have another successful campaign to raise the funds for next year’s display. For the next 30 days, we will ask for donations to continue the tradition. If you would like to help us kick off the campaign, you may donate at City Hall, mail your donation to City of Hollister, PO Box 638, Hollister, MO 65673, or visit hollisterchamber.net to donate online. We are thankful for our partnership with the Hollister Area Chamber of Commerce and their support of our annual campaign. We can’t wait to see you on July 4th in downtown Hollister to celebrate Independence Day, and what it means to live in a great community!
