Owensboro's July 4th Fireworks Show to Be Made Up in the Fall

City of Owensboro

Owensboro's Independence Day fireworks show will be held in November.

The event was canceled last week due to the rainy weather. Owensboro Mayor Ron Payne announced Thursday morning that the show will be held Nov. 9, in conjuction with Veteran's Day. Special recognition will be given to Korean War veterans on the 60th anniversary of that war.

City leaders also considered having the fireworks show during New Year's Eve, or during the grand opening of the new downtown convention center.
