A Southwest Fourth of July: Page & Jerome, AZ
by Lynn Bremner
Page, Arizona is renowned for its fireworks.
Page, AZ (Lake Powell) 4th of July
Date: July 4, 2009
Time: 08:45 PM - 10:00 PM
Page, Arizona hosts the largest fireworks display in northern Arizona every 4th
of July. The show is set off to a backdrop of scenery that is unmatched in beauty
and splendor. An amazing display of over 1200 shells are launched from the rim
of the 13th hole on Lake Powell National Golf Course and are visible for miles.
With the location and height of the launch site, the show can be viewed by boaters
on Lake Powell and throughout the entire city of Page. The show lasts between
22-28 minutes and consists of over 1200 firework shells ranging from 3" -
10" in size and reaching a height of over 1500' feet!
This years (2009) show promises to be the best fireworks display Page and
Lake Powell have ever seen! We have upgraded the show from around 700 shells
to over 1200 shells! The display will still last the same amount of time, approx
25 minutes, but will be bigger and more spectacular than ever. This years Grande
Finale, featuring over 500 shells, promises to be an amazing event of light and
sound. Visit http://www.pagechamber.com for more details.
