FAQ’s:
“Can you watch the fireworks from Main Street?”
Not exactly, but you can get a great view from Manuel Brother’s Park and the parking lot of the Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center. If you can see the Open Cut you’ll be able to see the fireworks.
“Will the fireworks be rescheduled in the event of a weather situation?”
Depends on the weather situation. If rain/storms, then yes, they will be rescheduled for the following day. If due to dry conditions that pose a fire risk, then no, they will be cancelled completely.
