Changes to Fireworks Displays in Southwest Florida for 2009

There will be a few changes for Fourth of July Celebrations this year in Southwest Florida mostly due to the economy.

The Riverfest and fireworks show in Fort Myers will not be happening at all this Fourth of July. The city cannot foot the $80,000 bill.

But a Fort Myers resident, Derrell Gardner, is planning a daytime celebration he calls, "We the People". It will include a parade down First Street, a stage and grandstand in front of the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center, and more.
