ALABATER – The city of Alabaster celebrated independence earlier this year with a fireworks display on Saturday, July 2.
The main event, held at Thompson High School, was hosted by the Parks and Recreation Department and began at 6 p.m.
Several food trucks were available at the event including Chubbfathers, DixieDogs N Coneys and Kona Ice. There were also games like corn hole, badminton, petanque and even bounce houses for the kids.
According to Neal Wagner, the city’s director of communications, the event “went really well” and was “world class.”
He described the event as something residents look forward to and something they look forward to doing.
“It was a great event and the attendance was outstanding,” Wagner said.
The fireworks show started at 9pm after sunset and lasted about 15 minutes.
“It was a great way to celebrate Independence Day and it’s something we look forward to hosting for our residents and visitors every year,” Wagner said.
Alabaster residents can expect the annual event to continue in 2023 along with other city events that can be found on the Alabaster Parks and Recreation Facebook page or on their website at al-alabaster.civicplus.com .
